Question:
I have a light blue vase labeled 1183 RED WING U.S.A. It has no chips or cracks, just the normal crackling inside the vase. "Red Wing" is underlined, coming from the "R" and has a little downhill dip at the end of the line, with a tiny dip just below it. Could you tell me more about this piece, how old is it, what other colors was produced in. I’ve seen a tan piece online. Also estimated value, if possible. Thank you so very much for your time. My mother recently passed away and this piece has always been in our home.

Answer:
Kim, Your vase was originally designed in 1943. Glazes for that timeframe would be antique ivory, luster tan, luster blue, and luster rose. I’m not sure how long this particular vase was produced, so it could come in even more glazes. Its value is around $40.00 or so. Thanks, steve n rose
