Question:
Hi, I have either a umbrella stand or sand jar. It is 16" tall and 13" wide. It’s brushware with two deer in a forest scene with a pinecone motif around the top. It’s in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. Can you give me a little history about the piece and what the approximate value is? Thanks! Keith Wilson Four Seasons Gallery

Answer: Hi Keith

this is a #107, it’s part of the Brushed Ware line, circa 1930. It was produced for several years. If it’s marked, great! But it could have been made by someone else as well. RRP out of Ohio made it too. It’s very difficult to tell the difference unless you know Red Wing’s glazes. The inside is the more tell tale when it comes to the glazes. Looks to have nice detail. Marked it is worth around 500+, unmarked half that. thanks, steve n rose
