Red Wing Geish Girl, shape 1365 and matching flower box
Question:
My mom passed away and left various pieces in her estate. I have two Red Wing (stamped) porcelain candle holders,in shape of Geisha girl(?), green standing on black porcelain base. They are about 9 inches tall, and on the bottom it is stamped Red Wing USA 1365. Matching these items in color, is a foot long porcelain flower box (about 4 inches wide, 4 inches deep) also Asian style, and green, marked Red Wing.
I do not want to be manipulated at an antique or home decor dealer, so I thought I’d check with you first. I do not have a digital camera yet, so cannot provide a picture. I will try to find one. Thank you so much for offering this site! Debbie
Answer: Hi Debbie
the figural candleholders date to around 1949, their value is around 90.00 each. The window box, I can’t place, without a number, but most of those sell in the 50.00 range. Hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
