Question:
Hi. I have a 22 inch tall and about 28 inches around at the widest point, Wedgewood blue, perfect condition, floor vase (please see pictures attached) that is marked "Monmouth, Il" on the bottom. When I bought it in 1991 or so, I was told that it came from a renovation project (it was part of an old building) on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., where I reside. Can you give me a year of origin and approximate value of the art vase? Thank you for any help you can give me on this! R Jones
Answer: Hi, I think this would be from the thirties, I haven’t seen this particular shape, but it would be made by Western Stoneware. They don’t command the prices of a Red Wing floor vase, but it should bring 3-400. thanks, steve n rose
Hello!!! I just recently picked up this fine piece of redwing pottery at a local estate sale. It caught my eye because it had an oval stamp on the bottom instead of the "normal pottery round mark" I don’t normally get into the pottery but I was wondering if this pattern had a name. it stands just over 8 1/4 inches tall and doesn’t have any cracks. Thanks a bunch!!!
My parents have an Red Wing pottery bird bath in excellent condition. In an old catalog, it is called "The Thrush." Although they live in Red Wing and attend the various shows, they have never seen a bird bath like this, so don’t have any idea of its history or value. Can you help? Thanks!
Hi, First let me thank you for taking my question. I have a figurine of the Virgin Mary and I hope you can answer a few questions about her. The figurine is white and measures 10.25 inches in height and on the bottom is RED WING USA 1574. The figurine has no chips, cracks, stains or repairs. Please see attached photos. Thanks again, Joe
I would like an approximate value on this vase from my parents’ home in Winona, MN. I know it was purchased at the Red Wing factory sometime in the 1950s. The mark on the bottom is “1053 Red Wing USA” (no wing insignia). The vase has a somewhat matte exterior of dusty pink, interior of off-white. I’d describe the style as an urn, with 2 handles, and a raised foot. It is 8” tall and has an oval opening that is 4½” x 2½”. The exterior condition appears good. There are a couple small chips in the glaze on the underside rim of the foot. The interior glaze on the upper half is worn. There is a hairline crack extending from the rim down 1¾” on the inside (visible in upper right in photo). The crack does not extend through to the outside.
I would like an approximate value on this vase from my parents’ home in Winona, MN. I know it was purchased at the Red Wing factory sometime in the 1950s. The mark on the bottom is "1201 Red Wing USA" (no wing insignia). The vase has a glossy exterior of dusty blue, interior of dusty rose. It is fluted, with 4 lobes (foot is also fluted) and a raised Art Nouveau leaf or palm design on each lobe. It is 8" tall, max diameter of 5", and minimum diameter of indentations of 2 1/4". It appears in almost pristine condition. There are a few minor finish imperfections in the glaze; I don’t know if that indicates it is a factory second.
My dad purchase this item at an estate sale. It is a parrot with the #1033 and Red Wing USA on the bottom. We are curious to know if this is an older piece, rare? and estimated value. Thank you.

I have always had my eye on this pink rooster vase that my mother has. It has a 4" base, 6 and 1/2 wide across from the belly, while its 13 and 1/2 tall from the beak. I am curious on the background of it, the year it was made and course the value of it. I am absolutely in love with it and want to know as much as I can. Thanks so much!
