Here goes:

It is heavy. Stands just under a foot and a half high and 10 inches across.
This one hurts!

How in the world did that happen ??

I was told my father-in-law did it when he was young. He was blamed for everything. So who knows. But isn't it sad?

Sur is a gorgeous vase to have that much damage !! I could make it a lot better and certainly good enough to use,  if I can get the old glue off the surface !! Problem would be that shipping cost would be prohibitive from Canada to Texas then getting it from Texas back to you !! As large as that vase is one way would be about $30. or more !! Reason I know that is I just looked at a set of cookware in Canada and thats what the shipping was on it one way !!

Thanks, mart. I love it. I still have it out on the back of a "memory" table dedicated to those who have passed on in our families. The glue is so old, I can just take my fingernail and scratch it off. Just been too afraid to do it in case it falls apart! I know, the cost to mail things here in Canada is nuts! In most cases it is cheaper for me to mail to the States than it is inside of Canada. It cost me a small fortune to mail a painting out west to be cleaned and appraised! Maybe one day I'll visit the relatives in Texas!

If the glue comes off that easy it wouldn`t be too hard to do, just time consuming !!  If you do visit the Texas relatives,, bring the vase !! I would be happy to do it for you !! I have a Shawnee piece that hubby`s mother had that was broken and glued back with the same glue as your vase I think !! I have been meaning to repair that old crack and have taken some "before" pics !! When I get a day to piddle I will do the work on it and put before and after pics in the projects topic !!

I'd love to see it when you get around to it!

mart, I'm interested in seeing how it works. My son brought me a bowl back from Chech when he was 16. He's now 32, lol He broke the bowl in his luggage. I glued it and put it away. I'm so sentimental. If I could repair it properly I could take it out. Could you place it under projects? I would love to know. Thanks

[mart]

Sure will !!  I have been meaning to do the piece I have for a while but just haven`t gotten it down and started !!
