Very interesting; I saw an eBay listing for a vase #8508, Ivory with mirror black handles. The seller clearly stated there was a slight factory flaw between one of the handles; heat check??? I had assurances it could not be seen but to the touch one could find it. The opening bid was the price of a Big Mac so after a questions to them was answered I put in my bid and got it for a price little more than what 2- 18″ pizzas cost since I was the only bidder.

After I received it the seller contacted me to see if I was pleased and I assured them I was very pleased with it and he described it perfectly.
