The Visalia Stock Saddle Co. has been called "arguably the most illustrious and historic saddlery in California". The company started up in Visalia, CA in 1870 and moved to San Francisco in 1887. In 1950 the company was moved to Sacramento. They are currently located in Morro Bay, CA.

These vases were bought at an auction by my husband's grandparents in the early 1920"s I believe. They stand about 10 inches high. Colours are varied with cobalt blue and what looks to be hand painted figures on both vases. The details and paint on the one vase are raised and flat on the other. There is a lot of gold paint used on both vases. The markings on the bottom of both vases are fairly simple as per the attached photos.
I was going to put them in an auction but have no idea about their origin or what they are worth. If you could provide any information on them it would be appreciated.
