PURCHASED THIS ON EBAY FOR $10, SHIPPING WAS $28, Which I have no idea why , im sure they wanted to recoup some of the cost of the value of the vase , plus it was a bin for$182, the starting bid was $9.99 , I put a bid in for $10.00 :) this one is signed "TS"
Fabulous vase, such a gorgeous olive green & looks wonderful among your other fine pieces
I have one too. Beautiful thing to hold.
great collection SEAN
Those are awesome! Shipping is the killer these days.
Hmmm...back in the day I think I once owned a similarly shaped little glass thing, but it had a couple of extra small holes in it near the bottom of its neck/top of its bulb, maybe even with another little piece or two of metal hardware also attached, that rendered it something that would have otherwise been quite unsuitable as a "vase"... or at least one meant to hold anything but fake flowers...?? ;-)
BB2, where U at?? I know it isn't your 'brownie Sunday' yet (close?!) but I bet you understand what I'm getting at...?? <ROTFLMAO>
Back to serious, they're lovely vases SEAN68 -- and what fun that you got such a great deal on the newest one, despite shipping costs! :-) :-) :-)
I R here 68. Shipping cost tagged on by sellers have moved into the "gratuity" field. Way to jack up the price if the buyer is not observant and happens to be bending over. Pessimist: Optimist with experience.
Sean, I watch Netflix series made in Finland, and the people's houses and decors are something you would love, the modern vibe, with clean light colored surfaces, and great decorative glass items displayed on tables, etc.
Thankyou everyone for the loves and comments!!
