Question: {mosimage}
Hi Red Wing Collectors, This vase was passed to me from my grandmother. From my research, I believe it is from the Crackle Turquoise designs by Murphy. Yes? Approximately what year would it be from and what is it’s value? It’s been loved and held many flowers over the years, although there are no cracks or chips. Thanks! Elizabeth

You are most likely correct that the glaze is crackle turquoise with a bronze interior, however I can not confirm the designer was Charles Murphy. There are 3 other similarly designed bowls and vases. Production of the piece started around 1947, which is a timeframe where both Charles Murphy and Belle Kogan produced original designs for Red Wing. The approximate value is $20-$30. SteveNRose
