I just spoke to another LC Smith member who claims to have the exact same photo he picked up a few years back and believes to be original. Makes me a little weary as to the authenticity of the photo. Although, I suppose they could have printed multiple photos at the time. I know nothing about photography, so don't know if they had negatives during that period and could produce multiple copies. After learning that, I started to have doubts concerning the vase, although all signs point to an authentic piece. Just thought I would share what I had learned. Barry
