CHINESE VASE? VALUE? Hey there everyone, Just thought I'd introduce myself, as I'm a new member and this is my very first post! How exciting... So anyway, I picked this vase up a few years back in some musty, old cellar. Unlike myself, my fiance thinks it's hideous and has no value. I assume...

Hey! I'm completely new to this site, but was hoping that I might could get some insight on a bottle that we found. From the research that I've done, I know, for a fact, that it is Duraglas. The insignia on the bottle is the logo from the company. The number to the left is a '4', the number...

I am struggling to assess the value of this vase. It is 12" tall without the lid, 14" with. It has a beautiful painted depiction of men overlooking a tapestry of a tree, under a flowered tree. Colors are focused on burnt reds, tans, and yellows. Excellent condition. The bottom is marked with a...

I have had this around for awhile now. I thought it was really cool, but couldnt ever figure out what it was. I thought it was for a tea-candle, but not idea how to get one in there, or how to light it. I'm trying to post it on Ebay to see if I can get something for it. In the meantime, anyone...

I was on a hike in my woods and following a small creek looking for cool rocks to take home. I spotted a glass bottle buried under the mud in the creek. I picked it up, brought it home, and now I am trying to figure out what it is and when it is from. On the bottom it says the following...

Hi. I am hoping you can help me with this. I came across what looks like Antique Flatware. This flatware has no markings on it. I did take it to a jewler and had it tested to see if it was silver. They did a stone test? They rubbed the flatware on a black stone it made a white mark then...

I was metal detecting and thought, "It would cool to find a Native American artifact." Then I looked down and saw a strange stone that appeared to be worked on a while back. The place I was metal detecting had Native Americans living there, and is named after Native Americans. Anyway, do you...

Tonight I was digging in the 1870s-1890s trash pit in my yard and found these ornate bottles. They have no brand names on them. I'm wondering what they are ???. I'm not planning on selling them, but what are they worth?
