Question:
I was not able to send a picture of my vase from this page so I will describe it. I have a vase that has a Nokomis glaze. The vase has a circular blue ink stamp on it\’s bottom that reads Red Wing Art Pottery. The vase has a five inch diameter top. From the top, the vase tapers in to provide a slender neck which meets a bulbous body. Two handles directly across from oneanother are attached to the top and curve down and join the bulbous body. The bulbous body is approximately nine inches in diameter. The vase is approximately nine inches high. The vase strikes me as having a Mediterranean or Phoenician art form. The vase has beautiful vibrant coloration over its entire body. The only flaw I see on this vase is a flat spot that appears on the top of one of the handles. The flat spot is slightly smaller than the size of a dime. The flat spot has the same coloration as the rest of the vase. Their are no hair line cracks or crazing on this vase. The vase I have just described I have seen on the front of a book on Red Wing Pottery. Please provide any information you have on this vase. Do you have an idea of what the desirability and value of this vase would be? Thanks for your help.

Answer: Hello, thanks for the very good description. Think you have a shape #200. I have always liked the form, wonderful shape. Nokomis glaze is desireable to many collectors, as well as the shape. It should be worth around $500.00 or so. Don’t think the "defect" will affect the value much. It would date from around 1931. thanks, steve n rose
