APPRAISER: This piece was actually done by J. & L. Lobmeyr. If you look on the bottom, there is a white enamel monogram mark. You have the J. & L., and it's anywhere from the early 1880s to the early 1890s. In the 19th century, the Austrians and the French started doing pieces in the Persian style. So Lobmeyr and Brocard, two houses, did probably the largest number of pieces of this style. The shape is a traditional Persian shape. If you look at the handles, the same thing. The handles show beautiful Persian designs and just great colors. Usually, the vases are more monochromatic. The icing on the cake on this piece is the fact that instead of having just flowers and geometric designs, you have the giraffes and the storks. In a retail store, I would put a value of, conservatively, $20,000 to $30,000 on this piece.
GUEST: Whoa. Thank you very much.
