<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Miscstuff, post: 337913, member: 1331&quot;]Ok. It&#039;s probably two handles with two finials but four handles sounds better even if one has been “restored”. Technically gluing a handle back on is “restoring” it to its original position so if you want to be called a restorer go down to the hardware store and buy some glue and you&#039;re in business. This urn turned up at auction last week with an price range of $100-200 and no matter how hard the auctioneer tried we ignored him. He had two chances of selling it at that price range with a “restored” handle – buckleys and none. It turned up again this week with a price of $50-150 but no matter how hard he tried no-one would bid $50 to start it but I&#039;m a sucker for these things so I put in a $30 bid and the auctioneer finally gave up and sold it to me. It&#039;s got some interesting text on the inside of the vase. There is a name that I can&#039;t decipher and either G910 or 1910 and 27/6 and 19/6 which could be the price in shillings and pence. The base has a mark that I can&#039;t find so far. Not sure which way up it goes but think the left one might be correct.</p><p><br /></p><p>Can anyone identify or translate the mark??</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit - forgot to mention the size for those interested - 46.5cm high 3.5Kg</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers</p><p>Stephen</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113364[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113365[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113366[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113367[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113368[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]113369[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
