Red Wing 1196
Question:
I have a 9.5" vase. Light green in color with a floral arrangement of three flowers on both sides. On the bottom it is marked Red Wing with the #1196. I believe the piece is over 60 years old because it was given to my wife’s parents for their wedding in 1947.
Answer: Hi, Your timeframe is right, mid fourties. Some were hand decorated, the flowers will be a different glaze than the vase. Value is around 45.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Just bought a Red Wing tepee ashtray at an antique store and was quite taken with it. On the bottom, it is marked Red Wing U.S.A. 827. It is also hand painted with the name Pauline ’68 engraved in the bottom. I’m wondering if it wasn’t painted by the owner. Look forward to your feedback.
Answer: The potteries closed in 1967, so this would have been done at a hobby shop, not at the potteries. cute decoration, though. Value around 15.00. thanks, steve n rose
