Very nice finds ! That Harper is great ,potstone is a whopper,i would have taken wicker off as well ,might have decreased value a little but it sure makes it easier to see beauty of the glass .Sure would like to know what dots on bottom of snuffs mean .

Ok, thanks. That's too bad about the crack though. I'll watch it and see what it does.

Thanks Jamie...ya...it was a defiantly do I, or dont I, but after I opened her up and gave her bath Im glad I did. Im sure I lost some value but it was worth it, and hey, I still have the wicker pretty much intact and can,,,,, as a matter of fact I think I will, put it up with a picture of the wicker on and then the wicker off sitting beside the bottle. It will cost $20 more with wicker....LOL...[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]

I am affraid Jamie is right. It is always a personal choise and if you are going to keep it and you want it stripped that is ok. Anytime you have something that is embossed and the wicker was windowed so you can read the embossing on the bottle do the research before you strip it. You don't want to know what it was worth now though.
