GUEST: Well, this is a vase that belonged to my Aunt Catherine on my father's side. She passed it on to her son, Jim, and he passed it on to me.

APPRAISER: So, what do you know about it?

GUEST: Not much, other than when we inherited these items in the home, we were going through and packing them up so they wouldn't get damaged-- we have kids. So we decided to do a little research as we're packing away. And we came across a name, Daum Nancy. From what we understand, he's kind of a well-known person, and that's about all we know.

APPRAISER: Well, Daum is the manufacturer, and Nancy is a place in France of where... so that's not his last name.

GUEST: Oh, okay.

APPRAISER: That's the place where it was manufactured.

GUEST: Got you.

APPRAISER: And it is a real Daum Nancy vase.

GUEST: Awesome.

APPRAISER: It's an enamel-decorated cabinet vase, and we say it's a cabinet vase because of its size.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: What's great about this piece is its decoration. The winter woodlands scenes are fantastic, with the birch trees that are picked out in snow. And it's decorated all the way around. They did the winter scenes on all sorts of things, from tall vases to short vases to goblets and things like that.

GUEST: Right.

APPRAISER: But yours is a shape that I haven't seen before. So it's absolutely fantastic.

GUEST: Awesome.

APPRAISER: Dating-wise, we're going to say about circa 1906.

GUEST: Okay.

APPRAISER: At auction today, I would give this an estimate of $1,000 to $1,500.

GUEST: Oh, awesome-- very cool.
