Why You Shouldn't Buy Oriental Vases at a Garage SaleWe are in the Orient, mystic, look at this Oriental vase. This is not a vase, this is a cheesy vase. I have really learned the hard way with this. Doesn’t it look ornate and beautiful? Even looks hand painted. Wrong, it is not, this is a cheesy, either made in China or may I check, Japan, this is a China vase, they crank them out by the thousands. This thing, if you go to Chinatown, forget it, it is probably five bucks but at a thrift store it is going to be fifty cents, at the garage sale, they are probably going to get you for two, three, four, five bucks. Don’t do it, it is not going to happen for you, this thing is going to deprecate the second you touch it. So if you see some of these cheesy Asian looking vases, don’t buy them, they are cheesy.
