Question:
I have a bowl/vase with the marking Red Wing USA, #1303. The condition is perfect, no chips, cracks, or crazing. It is four inches high and 5.5 inches across at the rim, the base is two and one-eighth inces across. The interior glaze is a mottled to very dark brown and the exterior glaze is a yellow green. The outer surface is impressed with offset rows of a kind of rice grain imprint, starting at the bottom about one quarter inch high and each row getting a little higher until at the top the imprints are almost five- eights of an inch. It has been in our family from at least 1948. I have always thought it has a bit of an oriental look to it. Any info you can provide me with is greatly appreciated. Thanks, John
Answer: Hi John, it was designed in 1947, so your dates are correct. Part of the art pottery line. Think the galze is chartreuse/bronze lined. Value is 35.00. thanks, steve n rose
