Question:
I have a red wing pottery vase, approx. 10" tall, deep red color, with a bird of paradise in gold on the front. It has B2003 on the bottom, and I can find no info on this piece. What can you tell me about when it was made, and what value it might have?

Answer: This is a piece from the Tropicana line, 1950. The gold may have been added later, I don’t think that’s from the factory. Still worth around 45.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
