I love head vases. I started collecting these beauties about three years ago. On average they can be found on Ebay, at thrifts stores, antique shops and flea markets for typically anywhere from $40 to $70. Many of them are worth upwards of one hundred dollars and can go as high as the thousands, depending on the rarity and condition. I picked up all of these lovely ladies for under five dollars!!
This lady Aileen head vase, pictured above, is valued at over $250 and I picked her up at a garage sale for only $3. I’m no expert on these head vases; I am just attracted to the way they look. When I picked her up I thought she was gorgeous and in really great condition; I had no idea she was such a highly desirable collectible. This one is by far the best deal I have ever come across.

Oh I’m jealous – I’ve been looking to find a good deal like that on Head Vases myself.
These are so pretty. Great find!
What a great collection!
I love these Deana! Soooo charming!
Wow! I have seen these at Goodwill, always admired them but never knew where I would put them in my home. Great score!!

I think when they have earrings like the last one they are also worth a fair bit.
Great treasures!
What a great find! And what a great price!
WOW I had no idea–great finds.

Its So Very Cheri
Those are stunning! Love the colors & expressions. Great job on getting such a good deal!
I’m pretty sure I had a relative that had one of those vases. I can remember as a child looking at it … no idea where it is now! That a great deal that you were able to find!
These head vases are so cute! I didn’t know they can be worth so much! I found one a couple of months ago while thrifting..all that was wrong with it was missing lipstick, a missing earring, and a little break at the tip of one of the fingers. She looks like your last picture except with black hair. Great deal for all those at $5. Mine was around $15 for the one!
