12 inch double handled 159 vase

Question:
I have a 12" egyptian double handled vase, green and white, #159, with about 10 small clay pops on it, otherwise it is in very good condition. The only one I can find on the computer is on EBay for $75 as-is with a huge crack in it. Can you tell me approx how much it is worth? Thanks.

Answer: Hello

Think your vase should be worth twice that. Prices aren’t what they used to be, but you have a nice early vase. thanks, steve n rose

Safety Valve Jar or Stoneware Canning Jar

Question:
I have a stoneware jar, obviously a canning jar because it has the wire attached that would hold the lid in place (no lid unfortunately). It is 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide at the bottom. There are no markings at all. It is in real good condition, no cracks or hairlines, but does have some chips around the rim and darkening under the glaze. I sure would appreciate it if you could tell me what to call it, and its approximate value. Thank you very much. Susan

Thank you follow up to Tampico Question

Question:
Hi Larry: I’m the one who submitted a question about the unmarked/stamped Tampico butter dish and was concerned it was a "reject." Red Wing’s marking process for dinnerware continued to confound me as there did not seem to be any rhyme or reason.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide an enlightening and in-depth explanation. Wow…I am really impressed! Going forward, I now feel more knowledgeable and confident about buying unmarked/stamped pieces to add to my budding collection. Unfortunately, I live in CT, where Red Wing is about as easy to find as an Eskimo. So have mercy on me! Thanks again for sharing your expertise! Best regards, Luanne

Red Wing Magnolia Dinnerware

Question:
I purchased a set of dishes at a yard sale that read: REDWING pottery handpainted #1102. The dishes are cream color with a magnolia type flower,with light green leaves and some brown accent by the flower. It consist of :

6 plates, bowls, cups, saucers, dessert bowls
3 serving bowls
large platter,
sugar and creamer
salt and pepper.

In brown color are:
coffer server
tea pot
gravey boat
a bowl with handle and lid
small serving dish with handle

Some of the handles are broken and I am interested in replacing those items. The rest of the set is in good condition. Can you tell me anything about these dishes. The couple that sold it are in their 80′s. The woman said she lent the dishes to her daughter and when they were returned the parts were damaged. thanks Elida
