Dear Michel,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the apprisal
The presented object appears to be a decoartive object with the measurements of 10.3" height. this piece consists out of an stand made out of a cast mass in the shape of two elegant tusks which hold an painted spere. This glass or enamel piece is decorated with African animals like an elephant, lion, rhinoceros and a gnu. This piece was made in the late 20th century by an unknown manufacturer. It was probably made as an souvenir or decoartive object.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 10 to 30 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.
With kind regards,
Georg

Hello Georg,
