<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 1510970, member: 8363"]J. I so appreciate your considered remarks on my question. You're right, I didn't even have the language to describe the number. I will certainly look at ebay sold listings to gather some information in trying to discern the age of things I find. I've learned to be wary of the "Rare, Antique\Vintage, One of a kind, etc." seller, who knows nothing except the desire to sell. I'm just a dilettante when it comes to buying things, that's why I have so many questions. I try to research before I post, so I am not wasting the members' time, and try to make my questions broad as to apply to many situations. I enjoy the hunt and research the best, but under the members' elp and guidance, I have become more selective in my purchases. I am enamored with art glass that's why I selected the pitcher as it was hand made and I am trying to emulate the many silver experts here by grabbing up good looking silver items. Thanks again for your comments. Kiko[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
