<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 385612, member: 308"]I would not use them. I would guess 1960's or even early 1970's. If I remember correctly these do not have much heft to them because they do not have a heavy glaze. Salt deposits can be a real problem with lightweight pottery. As for investment value, the market for these is in a downturn right now. The collectors who really wanted head vases have more or less completed their collections. These would still sell but I don't think they would command a premium. On the other hand, you have both the boy and the girl. Having the pair usually increases the value. They also look very clean. If they were mine and I did not wish to keep them I would put them on the market as a pair on an auction listing to see how they do. I do not expect the market for these to increase any time soon so I don't think holding onto them will increase the value. Just my opinion.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
