I’m trying to find out if this vase is a McCoy and what year. I read online that they use to just put USA and numbers on the bottom of their product before they started to put McCoy. Any info would be great. thanks! [img size=320]https://kovels.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/made_in_usa_torquois_vase_001.JPG[/img]
I agree, not a McCoy vase. It has a definite Art Nouveau and Art Deco feel. Beautiful!!!
Hate to be pest here, Check Art Pottery Collectors Group & Info, This site sometimes gives free appraisals and this site said RRP closed in 2005 so maybe Kovels need to set the record straight and RRP will become more collectable.
WOW!!! Just checked price of that book. $265.00 Try the Library
I’vr heard of people going to Libraries for more info.Another thing I do is shop Amazon.com for price guides. Their is one on RRP by Sanford 2001. There might be newer ones out. Usually when these books get a year old or older the prices drop low. I’m sure you checked a lot of web sites, some sites have a lot of RRP.
Yes….I think i am changing my mind about selling it. The bottom just has 157/ and usa which is imprinted in the clay. there was a pencil mark which said $5.00. My nana’s neighbors daughter was selling it when her elderly mom died about 24 yrs ago and no one bought it… so she gave it to me along with some other items, 2 ceramic planters, one is mccoy and the other has no markings. also gave me a vintage marble bottom standing floor lamp. not sure about that item either. Thanks for your help. I wonder can i get more information at the library that might have pictures and prices of R.R. items?
Thanks for your help Carolyn67
