  • We were scammed. Marco Polo pulled a switch, sending us an inferior vase to the one we purchased--similar but obviously not the one (I took pictures.) So we payed $2500 for maybe a $500 factory second or copy. Response from them? Oh sure.
    Amex is trying to help but not too reassuring. Seems no return policy is sacred in Italy. I would never buy anything more than trinkets.
