There's a decorated one on p. 206 of Curran's Shawnee book, called a planter, marked U.S.A.

I see the shape referred to as a "gladiolus" or "gladiola" vase/urn. (I had never heard of a gladiolus vase before, but I see dozens of this shape turn up in a "gladiolus vase" search. Here's one: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/vintage-haeger-urn-gladiola-vase-1781888504)

Most of those are divided inside. I didn't get out the Haeger books to see if this is the name they gave the one in the link or if someone thought it looked like a glad.

Ahh...I get it. Gladiolus vases are divided to spread the glads while keeping the stalks separated and upright. (Something must be missing from my early upbringing since I had never heard of gladiolus vases. ) I checked my Haeger books and didn't find this shape or "gladiolus" vases. However, I did find that people at the Red Wing Collectors Society say "we call this shape a gladiolus vase...." in response to queries about different Red Wing fan-shaped vases with holes at the top.

3 stilt marks on base, no other marks

About 5.5"

If you read the responses, you'll see I found it in the Shawnee book before we got off on the gladiolus vase tangent.

Thanks for the info. Very surprising. I have dozens of Shawnee vases and planters. I haven't seen this glaze or the stilt marks. 👍😊

I found out the identity of this fan vase. It is in fact a Royal Haeger Empire vase. I found one with the original sticker.
