Q: We purchased this fountain from Haeger Potteries of East Dundee, Illinois, in the early 1960s. Around 20 years ago, I called the Haeger company to see if it had any value. They told me it was worth “at least” $350 at that time. Evidently the person who sculpted it only did one of a kind sculptures. Since I’ve turned 80 and downsized, I don’t really have the space to display it properly. Can you tell me if it still has any collectible value? The only markings I noticed were the words “Royal Haeger.”
