APPRAISER: It is a bud vase. And it's golden iridescent, which most people assume automatically is Tiffany. We'll see that it actually has a different name on it. And it says, "Steuben Aurene," and it has a number on it, which refers to the shape number of the piece. They were made during the same time, and Steuben was Tiffany's largest competitor here in the States. This piece is in excellent condition, and on today's market, if it was to come up at a show, I would probably be asking anywhere from $500 to $600 for it. This piece, as you noted, is Loetz. And on the bottom, it's signed. It says, "Loetz, Austria." At one point in time, this piece was bigger, and it probably had a chip in the rim. To make it appear new again, somebody took the top of it and cut it off. I would imagine somebody would be willing to pay $300 to $500 for this piece. If the piece was in original condition, it would probably sell for about $15,000 to $18,000.
GUEST: Wow.
