This vase is 12 and 1/4 inches high. Across the top it measures (opening) 5 3/8", same for the base. It is made of porcelain and when the sun shines on it you can see the painting on the outside thru the inside. It weighs 2lbs. What appears to be yellow in the photo is gold as are the lines in the leaves and around the top opening. What appears to be maroon color is more russet. There are no flaws or checks or age cracks. There are one or two manufacturer’s flaws in the white unpainted backside of the vase. The design goes around three sides of the vase. There are no impressed marks on base, but there is written in gold; 125 underlined and under that BEE. This is under glaze. This item was found in a small North Carolina town in the home of my aunt who was in the military for 30 some years.
Two Antique Chairs
Description:
I have two matching antique chairs which have been in my family for generations. They must be around 100 years old. They have been well taken care of. One is a rocker, the other a straight chair. They have twisted front posts and are very comfortable. The upholstery is green and brown floral on an off-white background. The only flaw is one arm on the rocker has been glued at the back but it doesn't hurt the use of it. They are useable like they are.
