"     I purchased this vase, which is 18&amp;quot; tall, about 20 years ago at an estate sale. I can&amp;#039;t read the markings on the base, but would like to know where the vase was made, its history, and its replacement cost. R.S., RAYMOND, MISS.

Made in the early part of the 20th century, the vase is in baluster form and has multicolored hand-painted late Art Nouveau-style decoration with moriage, or raised-slip, floral and leaf motifs. The insurance value for this vase is $450. Valued at: $450 *The estimates provided are preliminary only and subject to change based on firsthand inspection and further research.
