Question:
I have a white americana vase. It stands about 12 inches high. It has an eagle with spead wings and tip of wings extends above the rest of the vase. It also has a band of stars around the bottom of the vase. Mint condition. I think it could be a commerative piece. Obtained in Rochester, Minnesota. Anxious to find anything out about it.
Answer: Hello, Red Wing did make a vase like you describe. #1156, circa 1942, WWII era, very patriotic themes. There should be some marks on the bottom as well. Fairly rare shape, not seen too often. value is around 100.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Hi I recently came across a salt crock without its lid at an estate auction. There is no marking on the bottom of the crock but it looks like someone wrote on the bottom (small letters) circa 1870-1890. I am not sure if it is Red Wing or what it is. It seems to be in very good condition for its age. It could use a cleaning but I didn\’t want to do that in the case I wasn\’t supposed to. If you could help me out on the history and worth of this piece I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks-Molly
