Red Wing 20012 wave without tropicana relief
Question:
I have a vase bottom mark Red Wing USA and 2001, color Pink Zephyr Fleck inside and out. I have most every Red Wing identification book in print. I find B2001 in the Tropicana line in the books but no 2001. The vase is the same shape and size as B2001 but without the Tropicana relief on the front. Any information available would be appreciated.
Answer : I don’t have a real answer, it could be a redone shape, the fleck glazes are slightly older than Tropicana. I don’t have a listing for 2001 either, Murphy did a hobnail ashtray with that number, but it’s not a vase form. I did just find a similiar form, but it’s marked 2003, and is plain, no decoration like Tropicana. Value is around 30.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Brushed Ware Flower pot, shape 124
Question:
My mother and father were cleaning out my Grandparent’s place and came across this pot. The only marking on the bottom is a circle, Red Wing on the top, Union Stonewared Co. in the middle and Red Wing, Minn. on the bottom of the circle. Please see the attached photograph. We are wondering about the history, value, age, whatever you can share. Thank you. Sincerely, Ruth
Answer: Hi Ruth
it’s part of the brushed ware line, circa 1930/31. Shape # 124, ti’s actually a large flower pot/planter. Nice shape, and having it marked is good as well. Value is around 150.00. thanks, steve n rose
