Question:
I recently received a piece of Red Wing artware that was given to my Grandmother in 1956. The majority of a silver Red Wing label is still on the piece of two green parrots. With the figurines is a white vase that fits around one of the parrots. On the bottom of the vase is "RED WING" "U.S.A." and "B2509A". Would like to know the background of this piece. Thanks Reed

Answer:
Reed, The Parrots with vase are part of the Deluxe Line, circa 1951. They were designed by Belle Kogan, one of Red Wing’s more prominent designers. The Parrots are #B2509. The glaze is most likely Ming Green. As a set their value is around 125.00. Hope this helps, thanks, Steve n Rose
