Question:
Dear Al, I came across a beautiful Redwing vase. It is a powder blue with a flower design and it is 8 3/4" tall with an inner lip dia. of about 4 1/2". It is stamped 1181 RED – WING U.S.A. I haven’t been able to locate it in my research and am hopeful you can give me some history on it along with an approx. value. It does have a hairline crack, I’m including close-up photo’s for you. Thank you again, Eric.

Answer: Hi Eric

there are several different shapes with this particular design, from around 1943. Most are aniqued ivory, w/brown, but some come in different colors, as your’s is. The crack will hurt it’s value. Maybe around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
