Antiques Roadshow; Appraisal

I would like to ask you where you acquired this piece. Inimically camera. I know. What you call a stage set. And. It was. Written in black. Very very black and I always feel. I know underneath where I think twill be sold then I. Look. And under the rules. I saw. It came from prying eyes. So being friends of yours here and there and you its a beauty from quality. Can you share with us what you paid for it. You want to believe it what you trust most and 55 years of good will. Yes and I voted for $50. Fifty dollars forty five years ago. Well that was a lot of money 45 years ago. Yes yes. Well you already know that it is a dom piece. And if we turn this. This way. We can see the DOM Nancy around him a cross of Lorraine. Yes right there in place. They were

one of the top cameo glass companies in the world. Its highly desired today. It was collectible 40 years ago but not like it is today. The unusual part about this piece is that it has sterling. Fixtures and we see here a hall mark and Matt is the Gorham. Factory. In. The United States. Yes. So you have a french. Glass. And then you have an American. Fixture. And the glass is acid. Cut back. Cameo. With. Fire polished floral decoration. And gilded highlights. They experimented for a long time to get this gold gilding and that happened about 1890. The piece would be a matte 1890 to nineteen. Twenties. Time period.

Now you mention that it was black when you found it. How long ago did you clean it. At least 15 years to do something like that. Well I like you when you get home to get your little silver polish out again. Now we see these vases in this pattern. And they're not great big prices for a vase. However. When you add on that you have a wonderful silver factory. With beautiful decorations and flowers. And. You. Consider the work that went into putting these two pieces together in two different countries right. That's repressive if you if I have this in a nice fine antique show I would have been priced between three and four thousand dollars. I want to thank you so much fruit bringing Rocco believe.
