Question:
I have a black footed bowl that is marked Red Wing U.S.A. M-1491. I’ve been able to determine from the questions/answers on this site that the M stands for Charles Murphy the designer. Also, I located one site that gives this a 1955 production date. I’ve done all sorts of searches and cannot locate a value for this bowl. It has a wonderful free-form type shape and is on three little feet. It’s perfect and has a foil label. Thank you for any help you may give me. Ruthann

Answer: You are correct that the designer is Charles Murphy and the production date. The value is approximatly $25
