Question:
I have a 9.5" vase. Light green in color with a floral arrangement of three flowers on both sides. On the bottom it is marked Red Wing with the #1196. I believe the piece is over 60 years old because it was given to my wife’s parents for their wedding in 1947.
Answer: Hi, Your timeframe is right, mid fourties. Some were hand decorated, the flowers will be a different glaze than the vase. Value is around 45.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
