I broke an heirloom. Can anyone help me find another?

[classiccaprice]

This vase/goblet has been in my family for at least 4 generations. It has been cracked before my time with it, but I love the piece. Well it slipped out of my hand tonight when I was startled by something and broke into 1,000 pieces. I glued the largest back together to give you an idea of it's pre breaking appearance, My mother is giving me the matching tray and I'd love the goblet back to go with it. Can anyone help me figure out who made it, how old it is, and help me find a replacement? Thank you!

The folks at Replacements might be a resource, both for knowledge and for the actual product.  If they should have the product be prepared to pay....

I agree with (the other) lawrence

about Replacements. They have a department which does this sort of matching all the time....send them a photo, and you can have your information very quickly, sometimes less than 24 hours.

Yes, Replacements is more expensive than other secondary market sellers, but they are gay owned and operated, with many gay/lesbian.....employees, their quality of work life is very high--employees are allowed to bring their pets, compensation packages are great...so is the level of service and quality of their items. For me, at least, Replacements.com is usually well worth the prices they ask.
