Question:
I recently bought a piece of Redwing Pottery which is 14 1/2" tall and about 4 1/2" wide at the top and the bottom. When looking down on it or looking at the bottom,it looks like a Jewish Star (six points) and is a very soft orange mat finish on the outside and white on the inside. On the bottom it says REDWING USA 799 It is unchipped and the finish unblemished. If this is not enough info I will try to get help taking a picture and send it to you. Thank you for your help. Toba

Answer: Hi Toba

no pic necessary, thanks. Your vase is part of Belle Kogan’s Prismatique line, circa 1962. Tallest one, I think. The glaze is called Mandarin Orange. Value is around 135.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have a redwing ashtray shaped like a wing that is white or ivoey with gold swirled everywhere.. MOstly gold just some white shining through. sides are completely white no gold. bottom is not glazed and reads:red wing potteries U.S.A. and has 273 penciled next to USA. Can you please give me some insight on date of manufacture and value.. Thanks alot. K.p.I can send a pic if needed. McKinney

Answer: got the pics, thank you

the wing ashtray was made around 1953. Looking at the pics, I think this one was done after red wing closed, the glaze just doesn’t look right. molds were sold after the factory closed, we call them "hobby shop" pieces. So it wasn’t glazed at Red Wing. this one will probably be worth around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

I have a vase/pitcher..dark yellow in color, about 12" high. The bottom is stamped red wing u.s.a 911, the it looks like it is engraved 1972 EB , i can only upload one picture so i just sent the marking on the bottom. This was my grandmothers, and I always thought the initals "eb" were for her..esther barbara. Thanks! Jill

Answer: Hi Jill

this is a hobby shop item, done after Red Wing closed, in 1967. Molds were sold or remade by hobby stores, and glazed by other’s, this is probably glazed by your Grandmother, with the date and initials. The original shape was part of the Bronze line, from 1965. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
