Question:
Hello! I’m in charge of centerpieces for a Walleye Dinner for Minnesotans in Wash.DC. I’ve collected 20 Red Wing Art Pottery Vases and Planters for table decorations and want to educate our diners about Minnesota art. My research says I have several of the "Belle Kogan 100," but I can’t find a comprehensive list of what those 100 are. Is there a list of what comprises the Belle Kogan 100? Is there a catalog of all the numbers aligned to year of production, designer, etc.? Thank you! Kierstin

Answer: Hi Kierstin

Kogan’s 100 line date to 1938, with shape #’s 744 thru 870. Some newer shapes have used some of these numbers over, so glaze colors would be the big clue. A lot of them would be using the matte glaze Rum Rill colors, with a few new ones, copper was a popular one. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
