Question:
I inherited a flower vase that has stamped in a round blue stamp on the bottom "Red Wing Union Stoneware Co, Reg Wing, Minnesota." There is no serial number that I can find. The vase is about 8" high with glazes that start as a celdon mixed green to more of an olive green going towards the top. There are decorative figuresThere appears to be a seam on one side. The inside of the vase appears to have a cream colored glaze. The condition of the vase is outstanding with no nicks, cracks or missing glaze. I want to know how old it may be. The lady who willed it to me had owned a card and millener shop before WWII. I will send a second message showing the bottom of the vase with the stamped lettering. Thankyou . Meli Calkins

Answer: Hi Meli,

This is called the Lion Vase. The glaze is combination green/tan. This is the smaller size, there is a larger one. It dates to around 1931. Value is around 125.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
