    I'd appreciate anyone's comments on this 6" dark green vase.

    It once was decorated with an elaborate hand-painted dragon, but perhaps that has entirely worn away.

    Thank you.

    Looks almost like a thin silver overlay.

    It is lovely.
    It does.
    Rub it gently with a sunshine cloth, maybe that will make the dragon stand out more.
    What do the (mock) handles look like?

    Fourth for silver. Jewelry cloth or sunshine cloth and it'll dazzle!

    Here it is post- Sunshine cloth:

    It's shiny and bright and looks great. It's also just about impossible to get a good photo, as it's nearly mirror-reflective.

    Thanks for everyone's help!
