Rare Post-86 Fiesta Item for Friday Night Auction

HLC's Judi Noble will be bringing this rare item to HLCCA Conference 2011 for inclusion in Friday night's auction.  It's a Millennium II vase, glazed with CHARTREUSE on the exterior and ROSE on the interior.  As Post-86 collectors probably know, this shape and these colors were discontinued quite a while ago.  According to Judi, there's an interesting story behind this vase that will be shared at the auction.
