Question
Do you know about vases with Brush USA on the bottom and the number 708 above it.  It is pink with a whitish slump look to the glaze..It was our Mother's but we know nothing about it.  Thanks.

Answer
Dear Gail,

Without seeing your vase or a picture of it, it's difficult to absolutely identify it, but it sounds like it is most likely a "Brush McCoy."

Here's some sites to get you started;

Hope this is helpful.
