Signed 1950s Stromberg sommerso vase

Some of our customers are new to buying on the internet, and a little nervous about the process, so they start by buying a cheap piece to see how it goes, then come back and spend more later.  Here's a bargain vase for someone, either a starter piece for a new customer or a sweet deal for one of our existing customers.

This is cheaper than you might expect for a vase of this type. It's a little smaller than most of the others of this style that we've sold; it has a few scratches and a nibble on the rim of the base that is probably big enough (2mm x 4mm) to call a chip (for those used to inches, 4mm is 5/16ths of an inch or just a little more that a quarter of an inch); but the main reason this is priced so low is that we bought it for a bargain price, and we like to pass on bargains when we can.

It's signed on the base.  The "B" tells us it's a vase (which was fairly obvious). The number tells us the design is from the late 1950s. (The numbering in their 1959/60 catalogue had reached 972.)
