•Estimated Value:

•£150+ pair.

 

Hi,
Shine a UV light on them they look like Vaseline glass.

Is that a joke lol

 

Nope, it's true. Those are decent - again, can you get a photo of the signature? I think £150 is optimistic.

 

Best I can get

 

Hi,
Take them out in BRIGHT sunshine they should glow.

Looks like around $50+ on ebay.


Since the same hand is on ebay???
How come it is listed a VASE singular, when there are two vases in the pic?

 

That’s my post

 

Good spot, amended as it’s the pair I’m selling

 

Okay, so then my next question (as I am not a seller) is why do you say they are valued at almost triple the price you are asking for on ebay?

 

Rather sparse title on the listing. Take advantage of the number of characters available. Add glass, add cut, add pair, add England. Check to see if it glows, and if it does (which seems likely) add Vaseline. Put that title to work!

 

I’ve copied and pasted the information from the previous owners inventory she made some years ago.

It’s on a starting price of £37 to try and gain some interest I guess

 

Thanks for the tips, added a bit too it

 

Oh right...I actually forgot that you are supposed to bid on ebay, as I have never used it.

 

Managed to find a better picture of a marking on the bottom of the vase if it helps

 

Hi Andy,
DEFINITELY Vaseline glass. They are just drop dead gorgeous. The base in the sunlight is just glowing yellow-green.

And add that last photo of the glowing bottom to your listing!!!

 

All on, cheers!
