Fellow collectors take note: I picked up a mixed lot of very interesting items at the November Skinner Auction, several of which were relevant to my collection and are now displayed on my shelves. The balance are being put up for sale on EBay. Perhaps one or more may fit your collecting interests. Up for sale without reserve is this very rare vase done in the "Capri" style of hand painted floral decoration on a black basalt body. This piece is four inches in height.

T is no wear of disturbance to the design. Shipping is by USPS Priority Mail.
