Question:
I Have 4 Red Wing cremation urns. I think they are what you call green ware. 3 of them have holes in the bottom that are stopped up by corks. The most recent one I purchased does not have the hole. I was wondering of the values of the urns and why does one not have the hole. Is it a different age? Thanks for your time. John

Answer: Hi John, these are cemetery markers, or flower holders, not a cremation pot. They are from the late 20′s, brushed ware. Some have the hole, others don’t , just a variation. The water would drain, and not crack the pot, so I assume the ones with holes would be a later version. Value is around 125.00 each. thanks, steve n rose

I have a piece of Red Wing that appears to be a candle sconce. It has the number M1454 and the letter R beneath it. It is white in color and measures approximately 11" in length. Yes and it also is marked Red Wing USA. Do you have any information on this piece? Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Ruby

Answer: Hi Ruby

these were designed by charles murphy in 1954. There is a 1455, with 3 candleholders on it, that matches. I assume the R is for right. Value is around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
