Question:
Hello, My wife has a Red Wing planter that was given to her by her mother. Unfortunately it was broken the other day and I would like to replace it for her.It is beige colored, approximately 10 inches high and 6 in across at the base. I’m not sure of the diameter at the top because of i’ts present condition but it is probably twice as wide. There is an inscription on the bottom that says. Red Wing USA 445-10* . I’m guessing that is an asterick behind the number 10. Can you tell me what the value of the planter might be? Thank you very much, John A Jennings
Answer: Hi John, it is a flower pot from the mid fifties. It was a popular design, made for many years, and in different glazes. The "10" is it’s size designation, 10". There are at least 4 sizes of this as well. Value is around 40.00 or so. Try EBAY, advertise in the RWCS newsletter or the online classifieds or if you are close, try Red Wing as well. thanks, steve n rose
