[QUOTE="Ghopper1924, post: 1163952, member: 5170"]Ha ha: "Pot People." As a Rindskopf it does have worth, I'd estimate maybe half or 2/3rds of what I paid for it as a Tiffany. It was, in fact, advertised as a Tiffany piece, so it was misrepresented all down the line, probably going back to the family's estate, who will have to accept it back. I don't think they have the vaguest idea that it's a fake. I actually do like the piece quite a bit, but as James said I did buy the name as well, so the name is what I want. Komo is kind to assume that there will be a (real) Tiffany score in the future.....hey, it's only money, right? I've known this family of auctioneers for years here in my home state, but even with that the auctioneer was wonderful about the whole thing, a true model of good customer service. I already have the voided check. As a matter of fact, I still have the vase, too, to be picked up on their dime (they're about 2 hours away). Thanks once again to my sharp-eyed friends on the forum: if we lived closer I'd buy you all a beer![/QUOTE]
