Water cooler in deer sand jar piece

Question:
This 11 1/4" tall water cooler with elk in the forest has me puzzled. I’ve seen larger versions like "sand jars," but never a water cooler. It is unmarked. The yellowish clay looks more like Ohio. Is it Red Wing? Or possibly RRP Co. Roseville? Thanks-a-million for any help you may offer. Dennis

Red WIng 847, Belle Line shape, hobbiy shop glaze

Question:
Hello. Here is my pair of rare Red Wing pottery/vases. They are stamped on the bottom Red Wing .. looks like maybe # 847. They originated from the Volo Antique Mall in IL. I am in need of an estimated value. I have more pix, but this would only allow me to attach one. Thank you. debbie

Answer: Hi Debbie

These are a Red Wing shape, part of the Belle Line circa 1964-65. The problem is the glaze, this wasn’t done by Red Wing. After the factory closed, a lot of molds were sold to various hobby shops, etc., and glazed by other people. Value on this pair is around 30.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
