Red Wing M-3015 decorator line vase, designer Charles Murphy.
Question:
I have a 20" Red Wing USA Green vase marked M-3015. There are a few chips on the underside of the high relief areas. How much do chips effect the value and is it better to repair the damage or leave it alone? Lisa
Answer: Hi Lisa
this is part of Charles Murphy’s decorator line, circa 1959. It has a book value of around 375.00. The chips will hurt it, everyone seems to want "perfect". Repairs are fairly expensive, I would just leave it as found. Still a nice vase, it may bring 200.00 or so as is. thanks, steve n rose
Large vase with horse scene
Question:
Hi any chance this could be Red Wing. Been in our family for at least 50 years. Mark on bottom 159,C. Stands about 12" high. Thought it looked a little like your brushwear picture. Probably not but enjoyed your reading your site here in UK. Jean
Answer: Hi Jean
it is similiar to brushed ware, but not a Red Wing item. Not sure who made this one, but it looks nice, very classic design. It appears to be bisque, is it glazed? Can’t really give you a price, either! Wish I could be of more assistance. thanks, steve n rose
