How much are you asking for the vase? Do you still have the Vase?

The Vase was hand painted by Margie or Marjorie Whitethorne-Nez. It is one of the few Original pieces she has painted in the early 1980's or 90's. Sold in the four corners Area of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado. But I am most definitely know it might have been sold in Blanding Utah area. She painted for a shop that sold pottery out there. Margie is from a will known Native American art family "Whitethorne's" such as Baje Whitethorne, Elizabeth Whitethorne-Benally. 

She passed away in 2008 from Cancer.
