Red Wing 747 vase, Belle Kogan’s 100 line
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
Answer:
Hi Carol
you are right on the date, this shape was designed in 1938, part of Belle Kogan’s 100 line. Value is around 80.00 in perfect condition. thanks, steve n rose

Answer: Hi Linda
Your vase is part of the Magnolia group, from 1940. The glaze is called antique ivory. You can give it a good scrubbing, dish soap will work, even something stronger, if there are some lime deposits on it. Value is around 90.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
