Old Bronze Cloisonne

[tazmainiendigger]

I hope one of you super sleuths can help me out there! [8|] Roger I wonder if have you have seen anything like it in your neck of the woods??? I have in my possession a bronze vase that was supposedly unearthed in the ruins of a old temple in St Petersburg, Russia and brought to this country by a Edouard Hesselberg, the old letter in the vase continues to say it was presented to this old woman in 1905 as a gesture of appreciation for helping him gain his permancy in America... It really is a colorful old thing any help appreciated! Taz

Hey Taz...

I agree with Gunsmoke...run..don't walk to your nearest "Antiques Roadshow" and get it appraised and documented...they will tell you if the letter can be authenticated.

Nice find...

Keep on roadshowin'...
