Summary
Enclosed are pictures of a vase that my husband's grandmother gave us about 50 years ago. It is 7 1/2 inches tall and 5 1/2 inches wide. We do not know who made it because the name impressed in the bottom is not clear. We would like to know more about it, and the approximate value. - V.T., Crete, Ill.
