Question:
I have a vase with the following marks on the botton: "Red Wing" "USA" "667". It is approx 11" tall, appears to be an art deco design, and the color is purple, grape, berry or something in that color family. I do not have a picture to include, but when you look at it from the front it is somewhat reminiscent of a woman’e corset, in that it has a ‘waist’ located in the lower third of the vase. The vase has vertical indentations – (which remind me of the boning used in corsets) – which rise from the base & continue up [widening as they reach the top]. These same indentations appear on both the front and back of the vase. It is not round, square or triangular in its shape. That narrow ‘waist’ is 3 and a half inches up from the 4" wide base & then above this waist the vase flares out & upward to the brim where it measures approx 6" wide. More than that I can’t offer, but would be delighted if you can give me some info on this. With many thanks for your time and effort.
Answer: Thanks for the very descriptive description!!! This vase belongs to the "doric" line, circa 1960. The glaze would be amethyst. Value is around 55.00. thanks, steve n rose
