Wondering if these are worth anything or trash
« on: July 13, 2011, 09:18:39 am »
Hello. I received these vase from my mom who received them from my great grandmother and i was wondering if they are anything worth keeping or should i just sell at a yard sale or something. There are no markings on them at all and i was hoping someone knows what they are. thanks

I don't recognise them, but someone else might. Are there any stamps, imprints on the base? If so, a pic would be useful. Also, are they in good condition?

there is a really light stamp on the bottom that i just noticed. It looks like a "T" with a circle around it. took a picture of the bottom but can not see it in the pic.

Reminds me of  the items that you could buy at Woolworths in the 50`s and 60`s. Not fine porcelain for sure looking at the flowers !!

Thanks for the help...I have no other info on them...only that they were my great grandmothers....so it is possible they are from Woolworths.

Back in the 50`s and 60`s many items similar to yours were sold at small dept. stores like Woolworths. That is not to say that is what your pieces are !!  Only that they had a similar look. The flowers on yours are not finely crafted but many of those items are now collectables so check your pieces out first before deciding they are garage sale items. Ironlord is good with glassware,, perhaps he will be on soon and can tell you more !!
