[QUOTE="judy, post: 306644, member: 965"]Hi Pearl! I am just now seeing this new thread on dalas. While this thread was being started, I was at the Scandinavian Fair where lots of Swedish items are offered for sale each year. Several dalahests were offered as they usually are. I didn't stop to peek as I have so many and plan on visiting the factory next May where I'm sure I will be buying another! I did notice the table when it was time to leave, and most of them had been sold..... However I did notice this year the offering included more of the smaller size..... and as Terry said, the dollar amount goes up according to the size. I have been very fortunate to have purchased many at local sales for very little money. I have a few passed on to me from my family, but honestly I can tell you which ones they are. The orange is the most popular and common. I have a couple of the blue ones, and some white ones also. It doesn't matter to me if there is a maker's label or not. I recognize them at a moment's glance if they are real dalas or not, and don't need a label. The antique ones are quite expensive. They have a much larger neck.
