Question:
My husband’s mother (born 1907) gave us a vase with the marking "Red Wing U.S.A. 2706" molded into (rather than painted on) the bottom. It’s an unusual shape and the color is darkest green at the block-like base, turning to black, then very dark bluish-grey, ending with a creamy color at the top. Is there any record of this piece at Red Wing? Can you tell me anything about its origin? Thank you. Carol Schirado Jacksonville, FL
Answer: Hi Carol
We think you have a 2306, part of the anniversary line, from 1953. The glaze is called a luster overlay. Value is around 85.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
