This vintage Hull Art Pottery vase has the kind of color and shape that makes a small shelf or mantel feel finished.
The soft pink gloss glaze, raised Magnolia flowers, and bright gold handles give it that classic late 1940s look collectors love, while the compact size makes it easy to display even in a smaller space.
