What does this mean?

Hi Wren,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I can't find another black cello having sold at auction recently enough to compare values but there have been ones that have sold in other colors, all less than $500. None of them were marked, either.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A contemporary black varnished full sized cello
unattributed maker, International school, 20th/21st Century
Unlabeled, with black gilt-dust (glitter) varnish (worn in some places),
full (4/4 size)
CONDITION: appears to be in good condition with some gentle use wear.
PROVENANCE: acquired from a teacher
$300-500*
*represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary.

Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.

The cello does not have a label on the inside, which surprised me. It’s black varnished wood and it has a glitter-like finish. In photos it appears dusty and that’s the glitter.
