Hi, I just came into possession of the two huge Red Wing vases and have not been able to find out much about them. They are each 12 1/2" high and about 12" across at the widest point. The interior is a wonderful rich gold and the exterior is a warm burnished brown with an interesting crackle in the glaze. I would appriciate a value and possible an outlet.

Red Wing Bowl M1491

Question:
I have a black footed bowl that is marked Red Wing U.S.A. M-1491. I’ve been able to determine from the questions/answers on this site that the M stands for Charles Murphy the designer. Also, I located one site that gives this a 1955 production date. I’ve done all sorts of searches and cannot locate a value for this bowl. It has a wonderful free-form type shape and is on three little feet. It’s perfect and has a foil label. Thank you for any help you may give me. Ruthann
