Question:
HHi! I have a question about a piece of pottery that I received from my aunt in Louisiana. I think it’s a vase. It is 7.5 inches high at the highest point. The base is 2.5 inches in diameter, and it’s approx 4 inches wide at the widest point. The color is a satin likie black, slightly metallic (perrhaps?). It’s a semi matte finish. The finish appears flawless, and smooth, and there are no chips, cracks, etc. The bottom reads "Red Wing USA 437". I love it for the color and the fluidity of the form, but I’ve had a couple of people tell me that it could be fairly special. Any information that you could provide would be great!

Answer: Hi Dan
your vase is from 1955, there are several different forms with this particular style of curved edges. Not a real rare form, but still worth around 35.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
