Vintage Hull Art Vase H-2-5 1/2" Pink Floral Double Handled Gloss Finish

New Gloss Magnolia (1947-48) consisted of hand-painted embossed floral decoration of blue or pink on all-over transparent pink highly glazed background. Many items were detailed in gold outside the factory and although not uncommon for this line, it does increase the value of those pieces somewhat. Twenty-four shapes were cataloged, with Basket #H14 - 10 1/2" available with either closed or laced handle. Amongst Hull's wholesale and retail audiences the New Magnolia line with its updated glazes proved to be a success. This listing is for a pink floral on pink background gloss finish Magnolia pattern #H-2 - 5 1/2" vase. It is in excellent near-mint condition. No cracks, chips, scratches or signs of wear or repair. In Brenda Robert's book, "The Collector's Ultimate Encyclopedia of Hull Pottery - Identification and Values - Vol.1," published in 2006, she lists this vase at: $40 - $60
