Message:: [QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 20331, member: 51"]Wow, great! And this is large and has a lid--can't hurt. Thank you, everyone. The confirmation/dating/links/and sold prices.  Super helpful and much appreciated.  You guys are the best. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> There is kind of a neat side story this.  Husband, science guy, knows zilch about antiques, little interest unless they are going to sell for something, picks up the newspaper last week and notices an advertisement for a high end antique store.  It had a photo of a Sevres vase, it was $900 or something, and DH to make conversation says, "Do you ever find these at a thrift store?"  And I say "No." So it was literally a week later, I spotted this piece on the shelf of a thrift.  I did not think it was an antique due to the shape/colors --the colors still look 1960's/70's to me.  It just had me perplexed, I suppose some little voice said, ("looks well done") and I turned it over. "Sevres"... hmmm, are they still in business? I mean look at the maker's stamp, the stamp design reminds me of 1990's.  But the little tiny sticker looked old to me.  Enough that I did a two minute search on my phone for MP Sevres, and the purchase suddenly became a no-brainer. To DH's credit, he is going on and on about the glaze being amazing.  And is happy I did find one of those after all.[/QUOTE]
