Question:

Hi Red WIng Experts,

I inherited two Red Wing vases and am curious about their approximate value. I do some appraisals via email for antique tools and know the problems in doing so but I’m wondering if these vases are common or something worth investigating further.

See attached pictures. The vases are 9 1/4 inches tall, 3 inch square bottom, 5 inch square top. The markings on the bottom are very hard to read but I think it says

1959

Red Wing

USA

There are no external chips but one vase has some interior cracking in the glaze.

Thanks for the free service you provide.

Mike
