Question:
I have a 10″ high satin finish vase (5 1/2 w. at lip. long neck & bulbous at bottom. What I need help with is the mark. It says: red wing pottery in a circle with a star in the middle all printed in blue. The color of the vase is orchid and it appears to be hand thrown. Also has three small decorative rings at top. I would greatly appreciate information as to the year it was made and what the value is. It sits on my coffee table and I never get tired of looking at it. Thank you so much for any help. Carolyn

Answer: Carolyn, the mark is fairly rare, not used too often, presumed to be from the mid-thirties. A pic would be great, as the shape isn’t ringing any bells in my head. It should still be worth 75.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
