Question:
I have a white vase that is 5" by 7.5 high…..green on the inside…stamped 777. Also a yellow vase with handles stamped 1178. I am wondering the age and value of them. Thank you!
Answer: Hi
the 777 is from around 1961. it’s value is around 20.00 or so. The 1178 doesn’t seem to be the right number, for the shape you give me. Can you check it again, or send a pic? director@redwingcollectors.org thanks, steve n rose
