Subject:Crystal Vase
Posted By: Sarah Fri, May 18, 2012 IP: 74.44.136.185 Well, since I'm here today, I thought I'd ask about a second item. This is a very heavy crystal vase with a sandblasted stallion. It seems to have Asian marks. Any help is appreciated. |

Posted By: rat Tue, May 22, 2012 this is a contemporary Chinese vase, the horse imitative of Xu Beihong's well known paintings, the narrow mark imitating a Qianlong imperial seal reading "longevity", the squared one a fantasy imperial seal saying that the object is one of the emperor's treasure. |

Posted By: Cal Tue, May 22, 2012 This may well be high-lead-content glass, but what Westerners (especially Americans) call "crystal" is a very clear colorless glass, without the blue tint in yours. |
