Well thanks for your help ironlord1963 and mart, I will take a few more pics.

It's ironic when you say it's probably worth about $20 because I know my mother paid
way more for that and that was 40 years ago when a dollar was a dollar.

I know, I know and I understand that lots of stuff has lost value because the young ones are not
interested in most of these items (including my kids) and there is too much around because
us older ones are dying off leaving all this stuff around.

Hi all I'm back again.

This is another one of the things my mother left me. I believe it was the early seventies when she
bought it.
I've looked a bit on Ebay but I can't find anything that really matches up.

Height approx 10", no marks on the base or anywhere else.
Any help is much appreciated.

Yes but they still have a trade surplus of what $5 trillion ?

Lots of cash for them to buy back their junk, after all we're all buying their crap.

Thank you for your help mart.  I kind off figured it wasn't very old but I was hoping
it had some value since nowadays all one hears is about the rich Chinese
buying back their art.

I will be posting some more stuff shortly.

Hello Everyone,

I have a question, my first and I'm certain not my last.
I inherited this vase when my mother passed away a few years ago and I am curious
as to it's age and value.

My mother bought it in Toronto probably in the middle to late seventies.

Height : 14"  Diameter at base : 4 3/4"

I've checked on eBay but can't find anything similar to compare it with therefore I'm
turning to you good people for help.
