This is an antique vase, circa 1920, that is around 7 inches tall. It is made of black glass and has a silver image of a polo player. This is the most difficult item I've ever had to photograph, so please excuse my pictures- they do not do this item justice! Condition is excellent with no chips or cracks, only some loss of the silver overlaid image which has probably been caused by polishing to remove tarnish.

An interesting Victorian game entitled "Ascot- The New Racing Game"! It is in a sturdy old oak case that measures 13" long, 4.5" tall, and 7" deep. Amazingly, it has all of its original game pieces which consist of 8 painted lead horses and jockeys. They are in excellent original condition, other than paint loss; only one has lost a leg.
