<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 209792, member: 308&quot;]You rang!&nbsp; Sorry, King, they are blue birds.&nbsp; This line is listed in Sanfords&#039; &quot;The Guide to Brush-McCoy Pottery&quot; on pg. 37.&nbsp; I believe your vase is 043 B (043 being the shape and B for the Blue Bird decoration).&nbsp; It was introduced in 1915 and from what I can tell it must have been a short lived line as little information regarding that line is currently available.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for pricing, that gets real tricky.&nbsp; As you&#039;ve seen there are few sales out there.&nbsp; And the Sanfords haven&#039;t updated their price guide for this book since 1997 (as far as I know).&nbsp; At that time a comparable vase (041 B, 11&quot;) was listed at $350-$450.&nbsp;&nbsp; That price would be very hard to get in today&#039;s market.&nbsp; Personally, if it came up for auction in these parts, I&#039;d be surprised if it got anything much over $200.&nbsp; These older pieces are not as popular as they once were.&nbsp; I think some folks consider them too old-fashioned.&nbsp; Standard glaze pieces (mostly brown backgrounds with florals) are also having this problem.&nbsp; Do I remember correctly that this is an inherited piece?&nbsp; If so, you don&#039;t have much money tied up in it and could afford to start it on the low side.&nbsp; I am very, very reluctant to give advice on pricing in today&#039;s market.&nbsp;&nbsp; But if you put a gun to my head (and to save you from a Worthpoint subscription) I&#039;d be tempted to start it at $199 and see what happens.&nbsp; You can always lower it if you have to. Be prepared, though, to have it sell at that price.&nbsp; Best of luck, Linda!&nbsp; Contact me again here or through FB if you need me.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
