[Mccoypottery-talk] floraline vase

[Mark Jennings]

Hi all,

Thanks so much to the ones who've looked so far at the pics I sent them. 
I'm still new at this. Today at the Goodwill store was the first time I've 
ever went out on a pottery prowl. I actually just found one of my "finds" 
in one of my new (to me) books. I feel like a real live pottery detective 
now! LOL ;-)

It's the 6" Floraline bud vase from the 60's. It's in Vol. 3 of the H/N/H 
book on page 246 at the bottom left. It's valued at $12 to $18. This one is 
a light green, "speckled" with brown. I bought it because it seemed to be 
old pottery. I didn't realize that it's Floraline. To be real honest, 
there's some of the Floraline that I don't really care for. But I actually 
like this piece.

Some of you have taught me that you can't always go by book value, but I 
don't have any experience to go by. Also, the one I have has been 
completely broken at the "seam" (there's no seam, but I don't know how else 
to describe it) ... I'm talking about ... where the top part meets the 
bigger, lower part. BUT --- it's not as bad as it sounds. It was a clean 
break, and you have to actually look for it, but you can see where it's 
been glued. It was a good repair job, though. It doesn't detract from the 
overall appearance.

What does this do to the value? What should I expect it to bring on eBay? 
Does anyone want to see a pic?

Thanks,
mj

p.s. if there's someone on here who knows glass and china and who would 
e-mail me privately and tell me something about some of what I bought 
today, I'd appreciate it!
