I have some ceramic or pottery water goblets.I bottom of the goblets are stamped, WPA. Do these have any value?

Do you know what country they are from and maybe how old they are?

I would suggest hanging on to these even if you do not find out their worth at this time. I have put a link here that might help you get an idea of when the goblets might have been made. I will send another link in a bit. I want to read it further. It has more to do with the arts during this "New Deal" time to promote employment. Hope this helps!

Hi there! This is the second link I referred to in earlier post. It is interesting but may not provide the information you seek but perhaps some of the links within the link may help. Hope so!

The Works Progress Administration was the first thing that came to my mind. But, I couldn't find anything related to goblets.
