Red Wing Vase with flowers on it
Question:
I have a 6 inch redwing vase, I think. It is the tan and blue with the flower on the front. It is narrow at the top, with two attached handles, and has a like a potbelly bottom. It says Red wing union stoneware co. MN. The handles are also embelished. I am interested to see if it is worth anything. Should I take it to a dealer. I am also not going to sell it or get rid of it as my mother gave it to me.
Answer: I think your vase would be early artware, from the stamp. Circa 1930. Brushed Ware, a matt finish. Shape # 127 fits your description, value is around 85.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
