Question:
I recently picked up two pieces of Red Wing that I would like to know time period, desirability and possible value: The first is a vase numbered 1216. It is approximately 8" tall. It appears to be the magnolia pattern but the flower is not open like most and actually looks more like a rose from the side. The other piece has a lid, is numbered 723-S, is 7" tall to the top of the lid, and is solid green in color. I believe they call these jolly jars. The book I have showed it in mosaic and does not mention the green. Thank you for any information you may provide on these two items.

Answer: Hello, the 1216 is part of the Magnolia group, circa 1946. Value is around 55.00. The "jolly jar" has 3 distinct patterns, not green. It may be an aftermarket piece. Value? aroudn 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
