Question:
Hi, I have had this terra cotta/redware? vase for years. It is an exact match for the Red Wing #209 vase as shown in Ray Reiss’s book 1, page 23, fig. #209, except this is 10 1/2" H. and unglazed. It is unmarked. Did Red Wing make red ware? I hope you or one of the members can shed some light on this piece. Thanks for any help, Don

 

Answer: We don’t know of any artware that Red Wing produced with the red clay, It is the same shape but almost an inch taller then what Red Wing listed in their catalogs. Company’s were notorious for swapping or copying each others molds. It would be our guess that it is not Red Wing.

Thanks SteveNRose
