There is a leaf/ vine design on the body that circles around it and extends away from it at 2 places. Great condition.. very pretty. Do you have any info on this type of vase. Thanks in advance,

Red Wing Vase M1501
Question:
We’d appreciate any information you have on two of our Red Wing Pottery pieces..both have an "open-handle’ and are numbered M1501..One green, one yellow..What is the value? any difference in value with regards to color? Are they planters? Thank you!
Answer: Hi, they are from 1953, designed by Charles Murphy. He did a lot of the morphic shapes in the 50′s. Not really a planter, but could be used as one. Glaze color won’t make any difference on this one. Value is around 40.00 each. thanks, steve n rose
