Question:
I have an urn/vase that is 8" high with 2 handles. It is all an off white color. Around the bottom is raised leaf on leaf pattern. That decoration is about 3". On the bottom is the Red Wing stamp and the number 930. I am "guessing" that it would date back to atleast the 1950 ‘s.

Answer:
Nancy, your vase dates a little farther back, circa 1939 or so. Ivory is
most likely the glaze. It’s value is around 40.00 thanks,

Flower Dish – raised leaf design

Question:
Hi, I have an aqua oval flower dish with a raised leaf design. There are tiny brown specks in the aqua glaze. In addition there is a dark brown deer "frog". The glaze is very thick. Both are marked Red Wing and are in perfect condition.

Can you tell me when these were produced and what the value might be?

Thank you for your help, Marly Z.

Answer:
Marly, You have one of Red Wings most popular forms. The bowl is #526, and
the Deer frog is # 531. They were made for almost twenty years.
You have a mix & match glaze. The bowl would be Fleck Nile Blue, and
the Deer is most likely Bronze. The set may bring around 50 or so
being mismatched in glazes. thanks, steve n rose

saucer. I believe it to be Red wing. It has a green mat finish with a cream under coat.It has leaves on it. No marks on bottom. please include any info. Thanks Linda M.

Linda, It is hard to tell what you have. Red Wing made quite a few flower pots through out it’s history. They made flower pots with raised leaves or flowers, painted leaves or with wreaths of leaves around the pot as well as many other designs. Flower pots were made in varying sizes as well. A picture would be very helpful. Thanks, steve n rose

Umbrella Stand

Question:
I saw a green brushware umbrella stand the other day, it was decorated with flowers. The tag said Red Wing. Did RW make such a piece and was the amount of $210 a good price. I didnt see any damage. Thanks Kathy D.

Hi Kathy, Red Wing did make an umbrella stand, and 210.00 would be well worth the price if indeed it is Red Wing. RRP also made them, a "poppy" type pattern. Unless it is marked, I would be careful without more positive proof. thanks, steve n rose
