I found this at a estate sale a month or so ago, I thought it was a nice color. And I do like butterflies! I am not really a pottery collector, but I didn't want to pass this one up because they only wanted $3.00 for it. It has a tiny fleck missing from the rim which I am sure affects the value. It is about 7" tall. Is it worth anything? From what I have read, I think its considered average, nothing special.

I found a nice signed piece of Rookwood at a Yard Sale for Breast Cancer and got there late in the day. Couldn't find anything I liked but felt bad about not buying something. So I looked in a box seen a small vase with underglazed flowers. Signed on the bottom by artist. Turned it over and thought I know that mark but??? They wanted a $1.00 but I gave them $2.00. Got home opened the door and it hit me Rookwood! I sold it for $475.00 to a collector. Dave
