Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 121245, member: 136"]The other day, I asked DH, "What are those boxes in the back corner of the garage?" to which he replied, "I have no idea. I thought they were yours." Hmmm. It seems that 2 years ago when we moved here, the movers transferred a pile of forgotten boxes from our old garage to our new one. Those long-forgotten boxes were still packed from our prior move, in 1996. Over the last few days, I've been unearthing all sorts of things! This bowl(?) vase(?) or whatever belonged to my mother. It was a wedding gift from her matron of honor in 1952. Mom always hated it, but she kept it around & put it out on display whenever "Olive" came to visit. (Mom & Olive are both still kicking, tho Mom is in FL & Olive still back in CT...) Anyway, Mom gave it to me when she moved to FL in the early 1980's, using the reasoning, "You've always liked red." Well, yes, I like red, but let's just say that this particular vase/bowl thing has never been my style. I know nothing about it, but it's sort of shaped like a tulip, and it's very heavy. It's 8" tall at the tips of the "petals", but only 4 1/8" tall from the base to the dips at the bottom of the "petals" (which sort of precludes putting water and flowers in it...) It's 7 1/8" across the widest part of the top, and 3 1/4" across the bottom. Can anyone tell me anything about it?

Thanks so much for any input.[/QUOTE]
