Double handled Brushed ware vase
Question:
We have had this jug/vase around for maybe 30-40 years. The photo looks like it’s shiny gold on the green but it really just looks like a brown pottery color. Like the green was put on and rubbed off. The inside is glazed so that’s why I thought perhaps it was for water. The outside is rough. There is no lid. The design on the side appears to be a flower, both sides being almost identical. The stamp is on the bottom. We’re just curious what it is and a possible value. Thanks so much in advance! Thanks Lisa

Red Wing 1090
Question:
I would like information about this vase. I have been looking on line but just don’t have the experience to be able to locate something like this. It is pink in color. It is in good conditon, no chips. It does have a couple of very small marks at the neck of the vase as though something has rubbed against it. Nothing other than that. The bottom is marked Redwing, USA, 1090 (I believe that is the number. Charlotte

Monk or Lyre pitcher, RRP
Question:
About the "Monk" or "Lyre" pitcher….I know what the Red Wing made pitchers look like in the Clay Giants and etc. books, but I have one as shown in the jpg and for once I would like to know the origin of this form. I do not believe it is Red Wing but would just like to know for sure. Gale
Answer: Hi Gale
This one was done by RRP, out of ohio. There are several early forms that both Red Wing, and RRP have done. Very similar, but slightly different. thanks, steve n rose
