Small Moorcroft Clematis vase Size 3 3/4" tall I picked this vase up a few days ago and thought it to be in "unrestored condition". However on close inspection I saw a dull film which extended around 2" down from the top rim, and so I decided to clean it. First with soapy water, and when that did'nt work I tried a mild solvent which worked a lot better. Then I reached the top rim area and to my horror I discovered paint under the film which started to peel away (As shown in the pictures). The vase had been restored (Oh C--p!). However it has been restored to quite a high standard, and seems solid enough. But now what it needs is for someone to undo what has been done, and bring it back to life, by cleaning the rest of the varnish?, dull stuff off, and repainting the top rim area. Good project for an experienced or budding restorer (And thats not me!). Apart from this, and a little age crazing, the vase is a little gem, and is in as made condition. I don't care what I get for this vase. I would just like to think it will get a new lease of life I have started the auction at 0.01p Good Luck
