[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 467007, member: 4864"]I picked up these at a flea market today. I really love the art nouveau flower design on the large vase. Strangely enough, the larger one is marked 1919, even though the war ended in 1918. I suppose some troops were still deployed? The large one has a minor split down the side (doesn't go all the way to the top or bottom). Does this ruin the value? The large one is inscribed Hirson 1919 and is (9 inches) 23 cm high and 3.5 inches (9 cm) in diameter. The bottom is marked: Patronenfabrik Karlsruhe OKT 1917 St. 406 67% CU SP256 (if there are more letters, I can't see them) Small one has a brass plaque with St. Quentin and is: 3.9 inches (10 cm) high, and 1.77 inches (4.5 cm) in diameter [ATTACH=full]159504[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]159505[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]159506[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]159507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]159508[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
