Red Wing Vase 212 or 1189
Question:
Hi, My redwing vase has two numbers on the bottom – 212, and 118 9or is it read 811?) It has a green finish inside, but the outside is rough textured all around, except for a smooth oval area where roses have been painted. The outside rough part is kind of a cream color. I’m sorry I couldn’t include a picture. It has no chips or cracks. Thank you, Frank Fant
Answer: Hi Frank
I think you have an 1189, it dates to around 1943. it has kind of a floral pattern, usually done in antiqued ivory glaze. Value is around 30.00. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing dinnerware- need pattern information
Question:
My mom purchsed a set of dishes from a garage sale. The owner found them in their attic and thought they were ugly. My mom paid $20 for the box. They are difficult to explain. When she unpacks, if they sound like true red wing pottery, she will take pictures. Some have "RED WING USA" on the bottom. It is part of the dish. It is not printed on. Some have printed information. The piece I am holding says, "RED WING HAND PAINTED OVENPROOF U.S.A. 119". One piece has "RED WING HAND PAINTED" printed inside a pair of wings, then below it "USA 104". All of the bowls have a place to hold them, but it’s not a handle. The dishes have a unique shape, which is why she bought them. If the information on the bottom sounds like they may be worth investigating I will take pics for her. Most of the pieces are numbered are few have chips. She likes antiques and unusual items, but she does not care to investigate them. I have found that a few of her "finds" needed more TLC than she was giving them. Thank you for your time, Tana

You can forget my earlier questions if you want to – I see that you already talked to a seller about the same bowl. BUT, it is from the Oxford Line no a overlay so is the price still $250-300?

Oxford Line Bowl 2307
Question:
I’m interested in purchasing an Oxford Line bowl. It is 2307 and is 18" in diameter, rather than the 11" bowl pictured in Ray Reiss’ Book I. The price guide has the 11" bowl priced from $235 – $265 but I know that prices are down. Can you give me any idea what would be a reasonable price to pay for the 18" bowl? It is in excellent condition. Thanks!
You can forget my earlier questions if you want to – I see that you already talked to a seller about the same bowl. BUT, it is from the Oxford Line no a overlay so is the price still $250-300?
Answer: Hello
The 18" size is pretty rare, and I think there is less Oxford glaze than Overlay. I think a higher price would be fair for the Oxford. thanks, steve n rose
