[QUOTE="bercrystal, post: 3763471, member: 88"]Welcome to the forum!! :happy::happy: Beautiful vase. I love the color. Where did you buy the vase? The reason I ask is that the 2 auction houses I frequent use the same type of sticker with similar lettering & numbering. It is their way of keeping track of who consigned which pieces. As each item is put up for bid the numbers on the stickers are called out to the clerk who then enters them into the computer along with an item description, the buyer's number & price bid. You may not have bought it at an auction but whoever you bought it from might have & just not removed the sticker. I always get a chuckle when I am out at various venues & see one of the stickers on something. In other words, that sticker might not have anything to do with the artist or the company that made the vase. The incised markings are your best bet to ID anything about this vase.[/QUOTE]
