My grandmother tells me that a younger man, old enough to be her son gave the set of four to her about 10 years ago. This younger man that seem to be in love with my grandmother told her that they were old vases and that they belonged to his mother before passing away. The gold colored rings appear to be metal.
these can run from a few bucks to a few thousand....none of us here can really give you a definitive value from a picture. but they do appear to be the real deal. find a dealer in your area and look at what they sell.
if this factory description is correct your vases are prob from the 60s-70s
as you say your grandmother says, the young man said, they belonged to
his mother and she had them a long time b4 passing away
