Red Wing 747 vase, Belle Kogan’s 100 line

Question:

I have a red wing vase #747, soft blue in color. It was given to my parents as a wedding present I think sometime around 1940. It has handles, what appears to be a fern design on each side. It is about 7" tall and approx 8.5" wide to the outside of the handles. Can you tell me anything about it? I’d be grateful. Carol

Answer:

Hi Carol
