This recent Purge Genie item from a client of mine was a heck of a lot of fun to research. It’s owner wasn’t able to give me many details on it, and didn’t think it would be worth much at all. I discovered a bit of its history, listed it on eBay and had the actual artist contact me to fill in the details! It sold for $78, and ended up going to a buyer in Vallauris, France – the vase’s birthplace. I was so happy to hear from the buyer that it arrived safely – I had fallen in love with the beauty of this piece.
