Textura Line B2100 shape – Pink/Grey Vase

Question:
I have two vases passed down from at least my grandmother. One is a rose bowl # 278 in grey/salmon and I found the answer to that here. Thank you. The other is a more conventional vase shape but the number is too indistinct to make out. It stands just over 8 inches tall. Could you please identify it for me? Thank you Christine

Answer: HI Christine

this is part of Belle Kogan’s Textura line, circa 1950, shape B2100. Value is around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

2 gallon Bob White Water Cooler

Question:
I have the opportunity to purchase a red wing water cooler in the bobwhite design. It is approximately 2 gallons and comes with a lid, spigot and base. There is a bobwhite on the front of the cooler and the base has 4 bobwhites that circle it. It is also marked red wing. It is in prestine condition. I am being offered it for $100.00. My only problem is that I cannot find any information on it. A friend of mine has a book and cannot locate it in his book either. The lady that wants to sell it to me states she bought it about 40 years ago. Is this a legitimate piece? What is the value of it if it is a good piece? Any information is greatly appreciated! Donna

Red Wing Water Coller oozing sticky reddish substance

Question:
My water cooler has been stored in a clean spot in the basement for over 10 yrs until this past Labor Day when I filled it with water and ice. About 2 hrs or so later, the outside was oozing a sticky, reddish substance up to the water line inside. It sort of looked like the stoneware was sweating! The inside remained clean. I washed the stoneware’s exterior but after a few hours, it appeared again. This cycle repeats even though it has been a couple of days. Ever seen or heard of this happening before? What is it and what do I do about it? So unappealing it renders the crock unusable. Thank you. Bethany
