Question:
I have a 10" (approx.)vase that I cannot find in any of the collector’s books I’ve looked in. It is marked: Red Wing, USA, 674. It has a tan and green glaze (not as dark and rich as Frankoma, but somewhat similar colors). It may be the "Nokomis" finish. The mold # may have been used in 1937 for RumRill. It looks like it could have been used in the Chromoline Handpainted series. It also is shaped similar to the 1955 SGraffito – M4005 10 1/8" vase. I can send you a picture if you give me an address to send it to. (Sorry, I do not know how to upload…, but I can send as an email.) Thanks for any info you can give me on it: age, value, etc.
Answer: Think you have a vase from the 1961 Stereoline, they were some funky glazes. It is probably Bronze/Green in glaze color. Value is around 40.00 or so. Hope this helps you. thanks, steve n rose

Hi When I was younger i accidentally broke my grandmas favorite red wing piece. It was a blue boy statue and I have been trying to find one but haven’t been able to. If you could tell me a little more about this item and if there is one in a book somewhere that would be very helpful Thanks, Aimee
Answer: hi Aimee, the early ones are around 8" tall or so, only around a dozen known, all handmade, worth several thousand dollars. There is also a remake done which is considerably larger, worth a few hundred. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
The 18-1/2" Tall blue-green vase seems like it may be a Red Wing piece but I am not sure. It has not marking on the base. I will submit pics for you…Thanks, Gary
Answer: Hi Gary, I don’t recognize this as a Red Wing shape, it’s a nice one tho- classic shape and very large to boot. Wish we could be more helpful, but this one has me stumped. thanks, steve n rose

Blue stamp on bottom Circle, RED WING UNION STONEWARE CO. RED WING. MINN It’s in good condition, no chips, a little dirt or grime. I’m wondering about the year it was made, and details of pattern name, dish name, and purpose, such as flowers etc. Also, approximate worth. Thanks!!
Answer: hello, this is shape 115, late thirties, brushware is correct! it’s called a bulb pan, for starting flowers, perhaps?? No particular name for the design, just part of the brushed ware line. Value is around 65.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
Hi Rose n Steve! I have two Red Wing vases that I am curious about. The blue one is marked "Red Wing Pottery 1151" on the bottom, and the green one says "1360 Red Wing USA." They are both in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks. The green one does have some age crazing. Any information you can provide on age and value would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
Answer: Hello, the 1151 is from 1942, luster blue, and designed by Murphy. Nice deco look to it as well. Value around 60.00 or so. The 1360 is from around 1949. there is a "crackled" chartreuse listed for a glaze then, so it may not be crazed, just the way it’s supposed to be. value on it is 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
Hello: I am an activity director in a nursing home. We are working on our annual rummage sale which will be held this Friday, August 24. We found a piece of Red Wing Pottery in a box that was dropped off. I have never seen anything like it – I’m not sure what it’s use is. I’ve attached a photo and we would appreciate if you could help us with this as we feel it has value and want to price it accordingly. There is a small chip on the base. ASAP would be very helpful. Thank you.
Answer: hello. this is shape #787, from the Prismatique line, circa 1965. the chip will hurt it, but it still has a value of around 30.00 or so,. thanks, steve n rose
