Question:
Hello…I found this vase at a garage sale this morning in Holland, MI. They were asking $10 but I got it for $5.00. It has a green glaze with brown speckles on the outside. Inside it is a terra cotta color. On the bottom the vase says Red Wing U.S.A 795. It has at least a partial Red Wing sticker on the side. It is dirty inside but no chips or cracks. Did I make a good buy? Even if I didn’t, I like it and it looks nice in my house. I am not a collector of anything and have never heard the name Red Wing before but decided to google it and found your site. What can you tell me about it? Thanks, Sheila

Answer: Hi Sheila

your vase is part of belle Kogan’s primatique line, circa 1962. There are several other similiar shapes if you like this one. Value is around 45.00 or so, so you got a good buy. thanks, steve n rose
