Got your eye on a unique find? Well, meet the seller who went the extra mile to cash in on their Sèvres treasure in the latest episode of "Bares für Rares"...
Horst Lichter, our beloved show host, was smitten by the exquisite hand-painted motif on the vase. Colmar Schulte-Goltz, the expert, concurred, calling it a captivating piece with intriguing colors.
"I can't get enough," Lichter gushed. Meanwhile, Sina, the seller, had no sentimental attachment to the vase. She inherited it from her father, who also received it, with no family member ever daring to showcase it at home.
disappointED Expectations
The expert applauded the dramatic tree situation and compared the swirling cloud formation to Vincent van Gogh's work, describing it as weeping willows with "huge drops rolling down." Schulte-Goltz revealed that the vase was produced in 1925 by Sèvres, as part of a small series for the World's Fair in Paris. Sina, after some extensive internet research, was hoping for 6,000 euros.
But alas, the vase had a minor scratch that impacted its worth. Valued between 1,400 to 1,600 euros, Lichter grumbled, "I'm disappointed." Despite this, Sina remained determined to sell.
Backroom Bargaining
David Suppes, an eager "Bares für Rares" dealer, showed interest in the enchanting vase. Initial offers stayed in the hundreds but gradually increased thanks to Sina's remarkable negotiating skills. After a series of back-and-forth demands, they finally agreed on 1,350 euros, much to the delight of the sellers and the dealers alike.
