Question:
Hi, I’m so happy to find your site! We recently acquired this Red Wing vase. It has two chips on the lip of it, one about 1/2" the other small. On the bottom it says on the bottom of one half: B1433 or 8/433 or 81433, it’s hard for me to tell for sure. The other bottom says Red Wing USA. Can you tell me it’s age and value? Would it be worth sending it to a place like Replacements.com to be repaired or is it better to leave the chips as is? I hope you e-mail back! Thank you, Susan

Answer: Susan this one is from around 1953, designed by Belle Kogan. Travertine is the glaze color. It has a value of around 40-45.00, without the chips. I would leave it as is, getting it repaired would cost that much or more. thanks, steve n rose
