Era / Decade
Early 1940s (specifically 1946-1947)
Material
Glazed pottery/Ceramic with hand-painted matte to semi-gloss finish.
Condition
Good to Very Good. The vase shows high-quality glaze transitions; however, these pieces are highly prone to 'flea bites' or chips on the delicate 3D floral petals which appear slightly worn in the image.
Demand Level
Moderate. While Hull remains a staple of American pottery collecting, the market has cooled since the early 2000s. Demand is steady among 'Grandmillennial' and 'Cottagecore' decorators.

Description
A stunning vintage Hull Pottery urn vase in the iconic Magnolia pattern. Features a gradient of mauve/dusty rose fading into cream with hand-painted 3D applied floral blossoms and greenery. It has two ornate scrolled handles and a ruffled 'pie crust' rim. Marked with a signature 'Hull USA' and model number (likely 12-12.5" size) on the base.
Key Features
Highly collectible American art pottery; sought-after Magnolia pattern; large scale; distinctive matte-to-gloss gradient; Mid-Century kitsch appeal.
Authenticity Indicators
Bottom should be incised with 'Hull Art USA' and a number (e.g., 10-12.5). The painting on the flowers should be delicate, not sloppy. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Look for small chips on the tips of the raised flower petals and leaves. Check the base for hairline cracks and the handles for repairs, as these are common points of failure.
