Question:
Happy Spring! I purchased this vase awhile back and wondered if it was a Nokomis glaze on it. I would appreciate your help with the glaze and what the piece may be worth. The vase is 12 1/2" high and signed Red Wing USA and the No. 403 on the base. It has a crows foot hairline on the bottom of the base, otherwise the condition is very good. I have attached photos for you. Thank You for your help. Ron
Answer: Hi Ron, this vase was redone in 1952. The #403 indicates that. The early shape was #155, and would have been marked with the ink stamp. Travertine is the glaze, similar to, but not Nokomis. Still a nice vase, worth around $50-$60 or so. thanks for the question, steve n rose
