Also, I saw where one was sold at auction, I've included a picture of that.
Hi Larry,
Thanks for the additional photos and link to the 1stDibs website, which isn't an auction but rather an online retail gallery where antique dealers list items they are selling. In many cases, the listing price can be negotiated (which is why they don't put the actual selling price). The values Mearto appraises at are not RETAIL (primary market) prices (such as are on 1stDibs) but FAIR MARKET and based on recent auction (secondary market) sales of similar items. I've appraised your vase at $800-1,200 based on the recent auction sales of similar vases by Moser.
Let me know if you have any additional questions, concerns, etc...and thank you again for using Mearto.

It has some numbers on the bottom. I've included pictures. Also the gilt is not in as good of shape as I thought it was so I would probably describe it as fair to good condition.
