<p>[QUOTE="dgbjwc, post: 10342979, member: 308"]We had two small Hull vases sell at our last auction and both were below $15. One problem I personally obseved with Hull was that there really wasn't much variety compared to Weller, McCoy, or Roseville. Each year, Hull came out with a new line but I can't think of a single line that had much more than fifteen shapes. It's fairly easy to complete a collection. And, as mentioned, the pastel glaze colors don't match modern decorating trends. </p><p><br /></p><p>And it's the old story of too few collectors for the supply. I do find a few Hull patterns I appreciate (Ebb tide is an example) but I don't like any of them enough to actually collect. I don't buy for resale, although I might pick up a Red Riding Hood piece at the right price. The pieces we do sell at auction mostly go to hopeful flea market traders rather than collectors. That's not a good sign for the immediate market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
