Red Wing 947, hobby shop piece

Question:
Can’t find this in any of the books. Just wondering if you know if this is an experimental piece. On the bottom it says Red Wing USA 947 and then scratched into the glaze it either says HJ 81 or 18 PH depending on how you look at it. I have pictures of the bottom as well if you’d like me to send one. thanks. Ken Bahlman

Answer: Hi Ken

I’ve seen this piece done in the bronze line glaze. I think this is a hobby shop item, not done at red wing. Some red wing molds were used by other craft or hobby shops, where people could glaze them. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Hi I have what I’ve been told could be a rebekah urn or vase. But I noticed that the signed number on the bottom looks a lot like the shape of the numbers you all used on your products. Could you tell me if this is yours? It’s a very large 2 handled almost white glaze. Here’s a photo of the bottom. I can only attach one photo. If you need more I can send one of the whole thing.
