Question:
I have a Red Wing vase numbered 1361. It is in excellent condition (green matte in color). Could you give me an estimate on its value. I\’m sorry that I do not have a picture of it to send you. I\’m not computer savvy enough to do that yet. Thanks!

Answer: The 1361 is from about 1949, and the glaze is matte green. Value is 35.00. If you can, give us a description of the vase, as Red Wing reused numbers over the years, making it difficult to give an accurate answer. good luck with the pics!! thanks, steve n rose

Question:
My mother just gave me a vase that was my Dad’s mothers vase. My Dad states he remembers this vase as far back as his memories go. The vase is 8 inches in height. The sides look like ribbons that come up and makes 2 ribbon loops for the handles. The design in the vase looks like scrolled leaves. It is ivory in color with a brushed red. The bottom of the piece clearly shows Red-Wing with the # 1165. Can you tell me anything about this piece such as how old, the value, history about this piece. I am unable to upload a picture if needed I will have my daughter upload. Joan

Answer: Joan, your vase dates from around 1942, and the glaze is antiqued ivory. Thanks for the great description. No special history, no special line it belonged to, just a nice shape. Value is around 45.00 in good condition. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I purchased an umbrella stand recently. There is no name on the bottom, but it looks exactly like Red Wing Pottery brushed ware, with beautiful art nouveau type flowers. I was wondering about its value? Thanks for your help – Joanne

Answer: Joanne, Red Wing did make an umbrella stand in the brushware line, with panels full of flowers, #104. Without a pic or a mark, I can’t say it’s positively Red Wing. RRP, out of Ohio made the same mold as well. Value at a minimum is around 175.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

I purchased two pots recently that were labeled Red Wing. One is orange and is labeled Red Wing USA 922 and the other is gold labeled Red Wing USA 920. They are about 12 inches in diameter. Can you give me some information on these pots. Thank you. Arlee

Question:
Hello~ Can anyone tell me about this Red Wing item? It stands almost 5" high. Is marked on the bottom in raised letters RED WING USA and then either 909 or 606. Also hand engraved is the name VIVIAN. I haven’t been able to find any info about it. Year? Value? name? Thank you!!! Kevin

Answer: Kevin, This piece is a 909, garden line, I believe, circa 1965. The pic is pretty small, but I think this is a "hobby shop" piece. Lots of molds were taken from Red Wing after it closed in 1967, and various places glazed and decorated them. Hence the name and odd glaze color. Value is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
