Q: This vase is 16 inches high and is marked “Royal Haeger” on the bottom. What is it worth?

 

A: The Royal Haeger mark was first used by Haeger Potteries, Inc., in 1938 to honor Royal Hickman, a designer at the pottery. Haeger Potteries was founded in Dundee, Illinois, by David Haeger. He owned a brickyard in Dundee in 1871. His son, Edmund, took over the business in 1900 after David died. The company began making art pottery in 1914. It closed in 2016. This vase with three flower blossoms is called “Morning Glory.” It was listed in Haeger’s 1943 Spring Catalog and was available in six colors. Vases like this sell online for about $20.
