I just purchased three pieces for a really good price (under $500). Two of the artist’s are Harriet Joor and RR Weiner.
I’m 90% sure I got an amazing buy, but just seeing if anyone here collected.

InB4 “I don’t know, but I know an expert” Pawn Stars

Update:
Here are the three pieces. They are miniatures, with the tallest one being 4.5” tall.

I sold the chipped creamer for $350

I have a $500 bid on the tall one with 5 days left. It has a repaired break on the lip. I’m expecting this to go around $800. If it wasn’t damaged, it’s a $2500 vase

The short one isn’t officially Newcomb College. It was made by a metal artist from Newcomb College, no bids yet

There was a good segment on Antique Roadshow the other night. You can probably YouTube it.

My great aunt was the librarian at Newcomb and had a few pieces of pottery. When she died and we were cleaning out her house and a relative from Houston cane in on the last day and snatched the pottery. I’m still pissed!

Some pieces are $10,000+, most are $1500-$7000
