It's a footed bowl with a golden brown glaze & features Black/White/Brown Menehunes running around the perimeter. Are these rare & does anybody know/think what they might be worth? Thanks, Holden

It was priced at $79.00. The bowl had a 4 inch hair line crack. Not sure how they came up with the price. All other items were well priced in the booth.

I have seen them come up on ebay once in a while. I wouldnt say they are too expensive but the prices for the Vic bowls lately are really high. Its hard to say what they are worth but I wouldnt sell/trade one for under $100. I dont think the style was too popular so I think they are a little harder to find. I think the few I saw sold on ebay for between $90.00-$140.00 so the one Dibroc saw wouldnt be too bad if it didnt have the hairline. TabooDan [ Edited by: TabooDan 2007-02-03 12:47 ]
