Question:
What is the pattern called and what is the value? All pieces are in excellent condition without chips, crazing or cracks, except for one Urn lid that has a hair line crack. The Urns or drink dispensers hold approximately 2gl. {11 1/4"high X 9"diameter} One has tea candle stand for heating the other sits on inverted caserole dish that Urn lid fits on as well. There also is a creamer and sugar plus three cups & six bowls. Brad

Answer: The pattern is Tampico and the items are water coolers. Water cooler stands for Tampico were made in two versions and you have one of each. Notice that the artwork on the "inverted casserole dish" is positioned correctly when used as a water cooler stand. If the stand was turned over and used as a bowl, the artwork would be upside down.

A Tampico water cooler complete with cover, spigot and stand would be worth around $500 assuming all pieces are in excellent, undamaged condition. A superior example (crisp artwork, no manufacturer flaws, extra clean, etc) might bring in another hundred or two. The missing spigot would not reduce the value by much as replacements can be purchased. The hairline crack in one of the covers would reduce the value somewhat depending on the visibility and size of the crack. The sugar and creamer are worth $10-15 each and cups (no saucer) around $5. I’d need to know the size of the bowls to provide an estimate for them.
