"     I bought this piece of pottery (5&amp;quot;H) because it is unusual, colorful, and decorative. It is marked ROYAL BONN, OLD DUTCH, BONN, GERMANY. Do you know its value and history? M.W., HUDSON, OHIO The Franz Anton Mehlem factory (1836-1920) produced this highly intricate earthenware vase. The firm was bought in 1921 by the rival firm Villeroy &amp;amp;amp; Boch and closed in 1931. Royal Bonn is the trade name and Old Dutch is the line of pottery, which is reminiscent of early French fa\u00EFence or Dutch Delft pottery. This decorative vase was meant to hold a single or double stem of flowers. Valued at: $225 *The estimates provided are preliminary only and subject to change based on firsthand inspection and further research.
