Pottery lamp with leaf decoration

Question:
We are trying to determine whether a lamp that belonged to my wife’s mother is a Red Wing or not. The ceramic part of the lamp is about 20" tall, and the only markings on the lamp can be seen in the attached picture. The electrical portion of the lamp still mostly works but does tend to short out. The pottery portion is in very good condition (no chips or marks that I can see). If more details or a better picture are needed, just let me know. Thanks Nathan

Answer: Hi Nathan

This doesn’t appear to be a Red Wing item. I’m not sure who made it. Wish I could be of more help. thanks, steve n rose

USA 134 bowl

Question:
Thanks for taking time with my question, and this is a fabulous site! I recently found this bowl, or maybe a planter, at a yard sale. Only marked USA and 134, measures 7 1/2" long and 4" across middle (widest) point. Has some 3 petal flowers on sides, maybe freesia(?). In very excellent condition, has a clay fleabite and bottom inside has a hump, all under glaze. Any ideas on maker, though it does seem like it could be Red Wing, and of course I am curious about value as well. Again thanks for your time and I am linking to this site on my personal pages immediately!

 

Answer: Hello

thanks for the compliments! this item doesn’t match up with any Red Wing pieces I know of. I’m not sure who the maker is. Fairly simple form, probably from the 40′s or early fifties. Value maybe around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
