Is my Fiesta Vase a first or second?

Question

How do I tell if my Fiesta Red Vase is a "seconds"?

I know the vase says FIESTA on the bottom...but I am seeing that the internet mentions "seconds"..and I didn't know what that meant...apparently the value is less for a "second" I assume that means a second batch at a later date. I wonder if someone knows how to tell if the thing is a "second" and also on the bottome there appears to be an "H" or Capital "I" raised....don't know what that is

Answer 1

"Seconds" usually refers to an item that has a small flaw. In ceramics, it is usually a small pit in the glazong somewhere. The pit should not be noticible at a glance, but will appear upon close examination. It is less than perfect and considered a "second".

This is my favorite website for identifying and valueing china, ceramics, and glassware of all kinds:

Good luck with your search for information.

Answer 2

It will be stamped on it saying Fiesta. Copies won't say Fiesta on it.
