This one is similar, but with silver instead of gold.

All I know about it is that it is my Mother's. She had it for at least 30 years but I don't know where she got it. The estate sale people said it was jade. It didn't sell for $75 so I kept it.

I was told that it was jade. I would appreciate knowing how to tell whether it is jade or something else. Maybe I did not capture the color well?

This is a jade pin about 1.5 inches across. The motif seems to be African. Where would I go to find more information about this? If anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Ruby Lane wants a $75 fee to set up a shop on their site. I have just this one item, so I have listed the vase on Ebay instead. If you are interested in it, the item number there is 110998639794      I may have overpriced it, but I can always come down.

Cheers,

Here is my vase again:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/91755903@N02/8355072311/in/photostream

The chip is very small. In fact I did not notice it until it was pointed out to me after the photo was taken.  There is a nearly identical vase for sale by a dealer in the UK. It is by Thomas Webb and was made in the 1880s. I did not know that I could not offer it for sale here. Here is the vase from the UK site:  http://www.antiquecolouredglass.info/images/Thomas%20Webb%20Miniature%20Cameo%20Vase%20Yellow.JPG

I am offering the vase for sale and will entertain offers. It is a Thomas Webb vase from the 1880s. There is a small chip missing on the lip; this is visible in the picture.

I found this small small vase in my Mother's house. I don't know where they got it. Perhaps Dad brought it back from Italy after the war; perhaps they found it an a flea market. I just don't know. It is only about 3 inches high. It seems to be made of translucent or creamy green glass. The flowers around the sides are in raised relief. There are no markings on the bottom. Can anyone tell me something about this vase?
