Question:
my piece is a planter or vase, I believe. The outside is green, the inside is yellow. Approx size 4 1/2" tall x 14"wide. The back is flat, the front is round. It’s depth (from the back to the front) is 3 3/4". It is marked on the outside back RED WING USA with four numbers. I think the first is either a 7 or 1 then 255. the first number is not as deeply imprinted as the other 3. The front has design like swirls shaped like paisley or swan like. I’m sure the design type has a name, it’s used alot in ceramic or home decor. I’m sure this is an old piece, my aunt had it when we were kids. I’m 51 now. It is in great shape tho with glaze crackling inside but no chips. It feels fragile to hold or use. Thank You

Answer: Your window box/planter is shape 1255. Designed around 1946. It has a value of around 30.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
