Question:
I have a Red Wing Vase measuring 12 1/4" at the top of the Higher of the two lips. It is a pea green in color with Orange specks throughout. No cracks, chips ect…It does have glazing cracks that are within the glaze itself. The bottom reads Red Wing and the number is 810 or 818 or even 816, I cannot tell for sure as orange specks go across the last number and It is hard to read. Lisa

Answer: Hi Lisa

this is a Red Wing shape, from the 60′s, but it’s a "hobby shop" piece. That means it was done by someone other than Red Wing. The glaze isn’t correct. The plant closed in 1967, molds were sold off. Some molds were used by other companies, with different glazes. thanks, steve n rose

Hello, I came across this Red Wing Vase but I haven’t been able to find out much about it from my internet searches. I was hoping you would be able to help me with an approximate date and value. It’s 9 1/2" tall by 6 3/4" across from point to point. It tapers slightly and the base measures 5 1/4" from point to point. It’s signed Red Wing USA 412 on the bottom. The exterior is glazed pale blue and the interior is a coral. The gold foil sicker is still attached (see picture) and it’s in PERFECT condition. Many thanks, Melanie

this piece dates to around 1952, the glaze is luster grey/coral lined. always nice to have the sticker, value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

I found this water cooler at a New Jersey flea market and have been told it’s possibly Red Wing, but haven’t been able to find anything that looks like it, not only on your site but anywhere else. It’s about a 2 gallon cooler, lid missing, color: aqua or light green. If you recognize this, any information would be much appreciated. Thank you, Jean

Answer: Hi Jean

It’s not Red Wing. I’m not familiar with this piece. Wish I had a maker for you. thanks, steve n rose
