Hi, This vase is Hull Art. It's a soft pink at the top fading to a robin's egg blue at the base. There are yellow and pink flowers with branch and leaves on it. It was my mother's and maybe my grandmother's. I'd like to know how old it is and what the printing on the bottom---Hull Art U.S.A.-19-81/2 means. Thanks
The numbers are the shape/glaze/pattern number and size -- your cornucopia vase is in the Magnolia pattern, circa 1930's-1940's. Very pretty, but many are available in the marketplace.
They generally go for under $50 on ebay.
Family and sentimental value are priceless, of course.
Through the 1940's HULL's floral artware flooded the market. This was due to the restrictions of imports.

Very unique!
Pretty, but not unique. Desirable, collectible, but mass produced, not one of a kind.
