Red Wing Vase 891
Question:
I have a Red Wing vase with ‘Red Wing 891′ on the bottom. It is blue on the outside and pink inside. I think it was a wedding gift to my grandparents (around 1910 or so?) Can you give me any information about it?
Answer: The earliest this vase was made was about 1939. Luster blue/rachelle lined would be the glaze. Value is around 25.00 or so. (maybe they had a second honeymoon) thanks, steve n rose

What would be the value range of the collection and/or individual pieces? All of them appear to be in excellent condition….one dinner plate has a very small chip on the underside of the edge….I would carefully inspect and itemize the collection, with pictures, if I were to sell them.
