Say the vase is non-restored and the gold over-spray is a natural patina. Charge more money for this non-restored classic.

Overspray on cars can be removed with a clay bar. It is basically a bar of clay and should not scratch the surface.

So you do something that makes you thousands of dollars every year but you have no idea how to do it. Got it.
It’s all about the quick flip, not restoring antiques. I could buy something, flip it for a $200 profit without touching it, or spend many man hours restoring it, and making $400. I’ll take the $200 99% of the time.

Friend,
How much would it take to exchange ownership of that magnificent vase? It would go well with my Newcomb vases and add some diversity to the collection. Our azaleas are nearing full bloom, so would like to do this as soon as possible if the terms are agreeable.

P.S. it looks as though the gold is intentional. Compare this vase currently at $55: LINK
There’s also a similar vase from Prarieville: LINK

The one in Prairieville is my vase (the vase in the OP). I’ve done turned down a $100 offer.
The $55 one is not the same vase. Search 848-10. That’s a 848-6.
But I would consider working with you.
One of my unicorns is a Newcomb College pottery piece in the wild. I bought three at an auction last year for $1000, but I want to find one in the wild.

I've seen a handful of Roseville pieces that should not have left the factory. While most experts will say that the company wouldn't release seconds, I question that. They were in business a long time, and through some tough financial times. I would not be surprised at all if, though not a full on practice, seconds were sold to the public at a discount rate.
To your question, I don't know about cured overspray, but I have had luck lifting fresh(ish) overspray from multiple surfaces with straight Murphy's Wood Oil Soap. Just pour a bit in a container and use a q-tip. I've cleaned old Victorian buttons like this for years with no damage. It is a slower process on bigger pieces, though.

What else did you find this weekend?

My biggest find was a 3+ pound of sterling silver flatware and serving pieces for $20. I estimate the pieces to bring $700-$1000. I bought another Roseville piece but it’s not worth anything. I bought the old Navy dress blues, a couple Audubon books, an A. Santini sculpture, a crystal vase, and a pair of Lucky Brand jeans for $1. I spent $170 for everything.

I took the sterling/stainless knives out of the equation, and the rest of the sterling silver came out to 1009 grams. That’s $545 just in melt weight. There are 35 pieces of silver I got for $20.
