You should have asked for some documentation of some kind to prove the price you were paying for it.

They only knew what they where telling me. Which wasn't much. 

They had nothing to back-up what they where asking for the vases.

So I took a pass  ;)

I sent pics of these 2 "fine Specimans"...to Great Western Auctions...for a valuation...this is there response

Thank you for your e-mail.
 
From your image your vases look like they are Victorian glass vases.  Either hand painted or transfer printed.
 
At auction I would expect them to fetch in the region of £50-100.
 
If you wish to consign them for auction, please bring them in Tuesday to Thursday 10am-4pm.
 
Kind regards

What does it say in that e-mail you posted ? " look like they are Victorian glass " Hence my comment.

And so i can't still state my opinion that they aren't " I seriously doubt they're Victorian " is perfectly reasonable after that.

You've been sniping ever since that coat of arms discussion
