Question:
I just bought this vase for my wife as a Christmas present, the bottom says Red Wing on one side and the other has B1433. The lady I bought it from says it was made by a lady named Belle Rogan. I know absolutly NOTHING about this subject and I got it because I know my wife will like its different factor, so I’m not worried about its value, but it would be nice to be able to let her know more about the vase. If you could tell me anything about it, I would really appreciate it. Thank You

Answer: It is a vase designed by Belle Kogan, Red Wing’s one and only female designer. It dates from around 1953, hence the "atomic" look of it. The glaze is called Travertine. There are a couple other similar style shapes done around this timeframe, but it doesn’t belong to any particular line. thanks, steve n rose
