    Description

    An amazing decorated amber crystal vase. I am not an expert in this field of collecting so what I say here may not be entirely correct. To the best of my knowledge the vase was made by Moser and decorated in the workshop of Anton Kusak. The Kusak mark is etched in the base. I guess the signature on the vase is of the artist working in the Kusak workshop. I believe the vase was made late 19th century or early 20th. The vase was very dirty when I got it, probably never cleaned. I had some trepidation about cleaning it so I tested a small spot first and everything went smoothly. I believe the paint is fired on in some way because not a spec of it came off or was diluted in the cleaning process, even with some fairly vigorous rubbing. So you don't have to worry about this being a fragile piece to maintain. The vase is large at just over 12" tall and 9" in diameter at the top. It is in really excellent condition.
    I use the ebay global shipping service for overseas buyers to almost anywhere in the world. Once the item is sent to them it is out of my control. I do not know what their charges are but I know that they are an efficient and reliable service. They have not lost or damaged an item yet. This is the only shipping option for overseas buyers. International buyers will have to pay customs duty fees associated with their country.
