Question:
Hi Al, Not sure if my 1st question made it through or not (didn’t like the .BMP pic i sent.) Any how, I was wondering how much does what I consider to be a manufacturing flaw affect the value of an item? The pic attached is what appears to be a .75" – 1" deep hole in the bottom edge of a #1, large winged only crock. Also, rough time frame of when these were produced. Rough estimate would be nice too. No hairline cracks or any interior issues from the hole. Thanks For Your Time, Darrell

I have a small Red Wing vase. Red Wing 897 is stamped on the bottom. The vase has a blue glaze mat finish in a fan or shell design; it’s about 2-1/2" at the base; and measures 4-1/2" tall. I’m interested in dating the piece and an estimated value. Thanks so much for your time. Jennifer

this vase was designed in 1939, a very popular shape, it was made for many years. This looks to be a glaze from the 40′s. Value is around 40.00. thanks, steve n rose
