Pink Red Wing Grape Shaped Cookie Jar

Question:
I have a pink Redwing cookie jar in the shape of a bunch of grapes in excellent condition with no flaws I could find. I was wondering what it;s value is approx. I had another one of these that I sold on e-bay which was a green color and it sold for $750.00. See link:

 

Is there any reason why the green one sold for so much money? Is the pink one of the same value? Any help would be greatly appericiated. Thank You, Steve
