    I'm posting this because this is one of but a number of situations I have with my "treasures." I found this lovely cased glass vase at an estate sale in perfect condition. It is very heavy and was very well made. I didn't pay much at all for it. The bottom has a paper label of "Malaga, Spain, 1971." I'm guessing this was a vase bought on a trip decades ago. However, what do I now do with it that I have caused a hairline crack from top to bottom and a couple of chips on the top rim? What would you do?

      well poire i have damaged pieces & have felt to dispose of yet i did not decades upon decades i still have the pieces
      plus the story & label
      i would say my friend keep if you have the space
      cracks can travel but generally in reality they dont in most cases in me umble opinion
      its an emotional one & a lovely cased documented piece

      That is some very good advice, Malkey. The quality and the personal label have been the things preventing me from throwing it out. I think I'll keep it for awhile longer.
