Red Wing Vase 1235

Question:
I just discovered that I have a red wing piece. It is a vase about 12" high, solid red color with the marking 1235 Red Wing USA on the bottom. It has a fluted edge at the top, wider than the bottom and has a chip in the top inside.It has been in the family for about 50 years.

Answer: The 1235 was made in 1946, so you are pretty close. It has a value of around 20.00 or so with the chip. The glaze is probably luster burgandy. thanks, steve n rose

Matching brown boots with yellow trim on the top. Excellent condition, no scratches or chips other than what looks like a kiln mark on top of the base by her boots. Any idea?
