Gordon Craig Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Genst,This item was offered through a Berlin auction house last year. It is an interesting piece because of the subject and the excellent art work. At 10,000.00 Euros, it did not sell.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Craig Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 You will note that there is some enamle damage around the bottom on the vase. This would detract from the overall value of any piece but probably not a lot from this specific one because I doubt that there were many made since I have only seen this one.Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant Broadhurst Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I agree it is a beautiful looking vase , but 10,000 Euro,s does stuff like this really go for that much !!!!??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 Grant,No to the price. It didn't sell and didn't appear in the next auction. Who really knows what things like this are worth?Regards,Gordon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Grant and Gordon,the vase is made by the manufacturer "Meissen" The company was founded in 1710. It is the oldest manufacturerin the world. Their products are from very high quality.Their prices are incredible. A new vase in this dimensions is about 2.000 Euros.regardsAndreas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Craig Posted March 22, 2007 Author Share Posted March 22, 2007 (edited) Alfred,Thanks for your comments. I am familiar with Meissen, more for their very collectable WWII items than anything else, and I was aware of their high prices. I'll have to see if I can compare some of the current Meissen prices, as you supplied, this piece and some of the Third Reich Meissen stuff. I don't know if I brought my Third Reich Meissen catalogue with me or not but it should make an interesting comparison project. Maybe the price for this piece, even with the damage, wasn't too far off the mark after all!Regards,Gordon Edited March 22, 2007 by Gordon Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
