Description
This is a beautiful vintage Hull Pottery vase from the 'Woodland' line, specifically design W-15. It features a stunning drip glaze that transitions from a warm, earthy sienna/tan top into a deep forest green base. The shape is a classic amphora-style with a wide, flared rim and a pedestal foot. Its height appears to be roughly 10.5 inches based on the model number system.
Key Features
Highly collectible USA Art Pottery; desirable Woodland 'drip' colorway; mid-century aesthetic; significant size and presence; matte finish which is preferred by many pottery collectors.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The 'W-15' mark is likely incised or stamped on the bottom with 'Hull USA'. The specific drip pattern and color gradient are characteristic of the 1940s/50s Woodland series.
Flaws to Note
Look for tiny 'flea bites' on the base rim or top lip. Crazing (fine crackling of the glaze) is likely present. Check the bottom for any hairline cracks that don't show on the surface.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for reaching national pottery collectors. Etsy is also a strong choice for vintage home decor enthusiasts. Local Facebook Marketplace is an option but usually yields lower prices.
Selling Tips
Highlight the 'Mid Century Modern' and 'Boho Decor' keywords. Take clear photos of the bottom markings and a close-up of the glaze texture. Pack extremely well with double-boxing to ensure safe transit to the buyer.
