Hello;
I am trying to obtain information about this vase, including value. Does it make it worth more because it is a 1st deco sample? Is it now considered antique because it is 10 years old?
This vase is approximatly 9" high. It has a sticker on it with the following information....
QiDong International Masalin Ceramics Ltd. (which I believe is a Chinese company that makes products for Lenox)
Sample: 1st Deco Sample
Item # 6438659 with something written in red ink that I can't tell what it says with the date 7/6/05
Description: Cherry Blossom Medium Vase
Date: 9/2/05
The vase has a signature at the bottom of it, but I am unable to make out what that says either. I do however believe it is the signature of the person who designed this vase with a date, but again I'm not sure. I was told that the gold on the vase is 24 carat.
Thank you in advance for any information given!
Kelly
