Hmm, I don't know, it seems that vases by Marcel Guillard / Willy Wuilleumier sell at pretty fancy auctions... but to see the auction results one must log into the auctionhouses' websites. But I found a pre-auction estimates on one for $2000-$3000, but it it didn't have a a photo, so this could be be wildly inaccurate.

Thinking of putting on ebay with 300 reserve. Any thoughts or should I sell some other way? Any advise is welcomed.

do you have the lid for this piece? you would increase the value if you find one.

I'd get a hold of an auction house like Christie's and talk to them before I'd put it on Ebay

Not sure a lid goes on it. I have not seen a picture to indicate either way. If you have seen a picture please direct me to it. Thanks.


Sniffer I wondered about that. Might try to find a contact. Thanks

You need to take it to a well respected dealer first.There were a lot of counterfeit items made to represent the art-deco period.I hope this is not the case.You should be able to find an appraiser in the KC area.Goodluck buddy,got my fingers crossed.
