My Acoma Vase

I bought this 8 1/2" vase at a yard sale for 50 cents, had no idea how valuable it really was but just loved it's look.  Mary saw it one day and had been to the town in New Mexico where it was made and she told me it was probably worth $400-$500.  I was shocked for a moment but realize most people don't know the value of items that have been gifted to them or inherited by them.  Whoever held the yard sale that I bought this from must have had no idea how valuable it is.

My Kim loves it, too, and it will go to her when I leave for heaven.  In the meantime, it will give me pleasure every time I look at it.
