Blue Cobalt Vases (pair)
Pair of blue cobalt vases, 8" high. Vases given to Roscoe and Edna Hysom at their first Christmas (1930) by Kate (Lester) Pray, formerly Kate Heath. She and Julia (Mrs. A.C.) Fernald were sisters. Their mother, Judith Somes Heath (m. Capt. Hirshel Heath), had a house and hat shop between Nuttings and Peppers. Judith and Etta Somes Salisbury were sisters. Kate Heath Pray said that these vases were "very old" when she gave them to the Hysoms, parents of donor (Gail Hysom Reiber).
