Blue Vase, Western Stoneware
Question:
Hi. I have a 22 inch tall and about 28 inches around at the widest point, Wedgewood blue, perfect condition, floor vase (please see pictures attached) that is marked "Monmouth, Il" on the bottom. When I bought it in 1991 or so, I was told that it came from a renovation project (it was part of an old building) on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., where I reside. Can you give me a year of origin and approximate value of the art vase? Thank you for any help you can give me on this! R Jones
Answer: Hi, I think this would be from the thirties, I haven’t seen this particular shape, but it would be made by Western Stoneware. They don’t command the prices of a Red Wing floor vase, but it should bring 3-400. thanks, steve n rose

Brush Ware vase
Question:
Hello!!! I just recently picked up this fine piece of redwing pottery at a local estate sale. It caught my eye because it had an oval stamp on the bottom instead of the "normal pottery round mark" I don’t normally get into the pottery but I was wondering if this pattern had a name. it stands just over 8 1/4 inches tall and doesn’t have any cracks. Thanks a bunch!!!
Answer: Hi,
This is a brushed Ware vase, Dogwood, I think. there is no name for this particular pattern. It came in 3 sizes, this is the smallest. Dates from the thirties, and the glaze is light green. Value is around 65.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
