<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 2528497, member: 6444&quot;]I enjoy challenges, but not sure how to proceed with this one. Clearly the problem is that someone dropped a marble in this vase, and probably pushed it down trying to remove it, so it is now quite stuck. Before I get into how to remove it, I wonder if it is even worth it? Can anyone point me to where and when this would have been made, and whether it is desirable? The engraving is apparently done by hand, since there are noticeable variations in the repeating panels. It is quite tall (15&quot;, 38cm) and unmarked with a polished pontil dome in the base, some of the gilt missing, no damage except the stuck marble. There is water around the marble (which is why there is a band around it that looks so wide), and the pontil is barely visible in the last pic like a halo.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]268799[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]268800[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]268801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]268802[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]268803[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]268804[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
