Red Wing #1272, Dresser Box

Question:
This small box was my grandmother’s. I loved seeing it on her dresser, and asked her in approximately 1985 if I could have it. I don’t know the history, just that she had had it for a while. The green box is 4" by 3", has a leaf handle on the lid, and is marked with "Red Wing USA 1272" on the bottom. Thank you for any information on history and value that you can share.

Answer: Hi, your dresser box is from around 1946. the glaze is matt lily green. No particular line that it belongs to, but there were a few other box shapes made during this time. Value is around 50.00. thanks, steve n rose

question from: burtco10@aol.com

Question:
The last information I had on the new Publication by Turner Publication was it was going to send it out in October- I called them and they said that it will not be published until January-

Unless I missed a note in the newsletter it would be greately appreciated if you would keep up informed on the status since the RWCS is the reason for the delay–

I know what you are doing but not letting it’s members knowthe status is wrong.

Is January a realistice publishing date?

Magnolia Line #1014

Question:
Please provide as much information about this piece as possible. I have no information about it. There is the Redwing "logo" along the curve in the bottom and opposite the logo is a number "1014" (I am not sure about the 4,but that is my best guess, the 101 is very definite. Following the 4, there is another mark that appears almost to be an "asterisk".) The dish is 12 1/4" long from tip of handle to tip of handle, the bowl itself is about 10 1/2" long. It is 7 1/2" wide and 4" tall. Thanks for any information.

Answer: It is shape #1014. Part of the Magnolia line of 1942, designed by belle Kogan. there were about 20 different shapes with this style decoration. the glaze is called eggshell ivory, antiqued w/brown. it has a value of around 45.00.
