Question:
I bought this wall vase (?) at the flea market. It is pottery or ceramic. It has 2 lion’s heads as well as swirls. When I bought it, it had floral oasis on the inside. It measures approximately 6" wide and 8" tall. It has a sticker on the bottom that reads "asca" with a modern looking "A". It is in great condition, with no chips or missing pieces. Please tell me what this is, who made it, how old it is, what it is, and value if possible! I welcome ANY input. Thank you! Jill

Question:
Hi! I originally thought this was a brushware Red Wing piece. I tried doing a little research on the internet and found one listed as a "Peter’s and Reed" piece. Could you give me any info you may have on it? Measures approx. 2 5/8 in. tall / approx. 7 3/4 in. across the top. Has a chip on the bottom rim. Thank you!! Troy

Answer: Hi Troy

this isn’t a Red Wing shape, I’m not sure of the maker. Another company might be Robinson Rainsbottom, out of Ohio. They made a lot of items like this one. Wish I could be of more help. thanks, steve n rose
