Fake? Does this mean they were birthday vases bought for $50 to $100 but unsigned? Bought from the factory ? by special collectors?
Beware of Birthday Pieces - I have heard the factory made 10 -12 each year these were sold off perhaps not even sold
they had no whblenko signature or #
when they were sold.
Be very careful of buying Birthday Vases.
