We are trying to ID two vases. They have no makers mark and I am having a hard time coming up with any search terms to help.
Both are marked USA. The blue vase is is 7" tall & 10" wide and marked with the number 810. The yellow is 7 1/2" tall & 5" wide

Something strange is happening with this post. I typed the copy and submitted it and it cut off everything after the first two lines. I hit edit and reentered 3 times and each time it cut off at a different point. If this does not work I will try tomorrow!

Well that did not work either! Drat! Never had this problem before. Maybe I will try the links only.

Thanks Max, I'll try running some searches for Shawnee.

If McCoy would they be more likely to be marked as such? -----o----o----o----o----o----o----o----o

Usually, but not always, I've also seen the USA mark on many different pieces, including McCoy. Does it have anything on the bottom?

Caroline,
It just has USA and the numbers I mention. I don't have a picture of the base and my sister has the vases so I can't post one. I found the site below that showed a range of "USA" marks and mentions small differences in the way the letters are drawn to identify different brands. I am not sure how accurate it is.
