Red Wing 1200, stylized bulb shape bottom

Question:
Hello: I recently saw what I think is a Redwing vase from the 1940′s. It’s approximately 15" high, is light blue in color. It is a stylized bulb shape (the bottom is rounded but the top is cylindrical). Half of the vase is covered in little asterisks/stars. It is at a local junk shop, and I am considering purchasing it. I want to do some research…any suggestions on Red Wing lines to google search? Thank you, Christian

Answer: Christian

There is a shape #1200, which matches the height and shape of your description. Think there are 3 different sizes of this form. It does date to around 1943. Check the bottom, there should be a number on it. Value is around 100.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
