I assume this piece would be catagorized as artware. It was part of an estate settlement that included items dating from 20 to 150 years old. It appears to be a dove. The inscription on the bottom says: Red Wing USA M1467 I’ve included some pictures. We are obviously interested in any background information and value.

Question:
At first I thought this lamp was a converted vase, but it appears as though it was made to be a lamp. I previously sent to you the picture of a vase with the same mold number. What is curious about this piece is that the vase has a concave top and this one was made with a convex top – strange because it appears to have the same mold number. The words Red Wing are not shown on this piece, but the mold number is very clear. There is no damage at all. Thank you for any help you can give on the valuation of this item.
Answer: This is just the variation of the #200 mold, used to make lamp bases. A lot of the molds had to have the top adjusted so a "stem" would fit. Not as many collectors do lamps, but this is still a very good item. Value around 500.00 thanks, steve n rose
Question:
This item sat in my grandmother’s house for as long as I can remember and she has been dead for nearly 50 years. The vase is 10 inches wide and approximately 9 inches tall. There is tiny red print on the bottom that says Red Wing with a mold number of 806. The only damage to the piece is a triangle that appears to have been cut rather than broken from the lip. Thank you so much for your help.
Answer: this is shape #200, from the early 30′s. The glaze is called "nokomis", very desireable shape and glaze. The damage will hurt it’s value quite a bit. Still, it may bring around 150+. thanks, steve n rose
