I purchased a Red Wing teapot today without a lid.

Red Wing M 1497, Charles Murphy designer
Question:
I just purchased a lovely Red Wing vase at a yard sale for $3. It is solid black, 3-footed, 10" tall, with a 4 1/4" diameter opening at the top. It has a slightly larger diameter of its lower half. I’m a garden clubber, and buy vases everywhere I go, and love this vase’s lines. It is clearly marked "RED WING USA M-1497" on the bottom. I can’t provide a photo today, but will do so when I get home, if you need it. Thank you for any info you can provide about my new vase! It’s really lovely! Elizabeth
Answer: Elizabeth
It’s a design by Charles Murphy, from 1955. There are several other forms with this group that have the same type style. Value is around 35.00 or so. nice find! thanks, steve n rose
