[QUOTE="gimbler-dave, post: 361570, member: 313"]Yikes, we will type this again. I dragged the pictures onto my first version, and it opened up separate tabs and wiped out my first draft text! Ouch! I'm trying to get info about this rather unusual bud vase. It is 4-3/4 inches high, and about 9.8 ounces in weight. It appears to be made of glass, with internal layers providing different colors. The surface has gold painted dragons, with touches of other accent colors. One odd detail is the heads of the dragons are blackened, apparently on purpose. I've included a close up showing that. There is a signature in gold - it ended up as the third picture. The underside is unmarked and has a smooth coating of some sort. Any ideas of age, origin, or the signature? Thanks in advance.
