I would like to know more about this vase. It belonged to my grandmother. She received it as a wedding gift in 1955 or 1956. It is 14"tall. It has a cream/white matte glaze outside and a green glaze inside. The bottom has "Red Wing USA 413" on it. I hope the pictures help. A piece was broken and repaired. I presently use the vase as my grandmother did for Gladiolas. It may not be worth anything because of the crack but i’m not looking to sell it. I would just like to know its history.

Answer:
Hi Joyce, Your vase was designed in 1953. The glaze is matte white/lined with green. It doesn’t really belong to any particular "line", and being damaged not worth a whole lot. Sentimental value is more important! Hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose

Hi Sally, The number you gave me doesn’t quite fit with anything in the book. There is a 1204, with a leaf design on it. It is from the early 40′s, and is worth around 30.00 or so. The crack will hurt its value by a great deal. Thanks, steve n rose
