Question:

I have a red wing vase #747, soft blue in color. It was given to my parents as a wedding present I think sometime around 1940. It has handles, what appears to be a fern design on each side. It is about 7" tall and approx 8.5" wide to the outside of the handles. Can you tell me anything about it? I’d be grateful. Carol

Question:
I have a darker blue RW vase with number 952 on the bottom. It does unfortunately have a piece (app.1" by 1/2") broken off the rim, but it was glued back in place and from the top side does not look too objectionable. Does this flaw render this piece as "junk" or would there still be value? Jill
