Red Wing Anniversary Line shape B2315

Question:
I have a dark blue and ivory Red Wing pottery vase that is about 11 inches high and 6,5 inches as its widest point. I know it is older than 40 years but am not sure of the dating. It has two openings into which flowers can be placed. The marking on the bottom states Red Wing USA and I believe the letter/number B2315. Any information you could provid regarding this vase would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Rachel

Answer: Hi Rachel

this is a piece from the "anniversary" series of 1953, the glaze is an overlay, luster black/gray. Value is around 85.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Pink Spice 77 piece set

Question:
Hello, I submitted a question about my dinner set and was told I needed an inventory of them to get a better estimate. I have the Pink Spice Dinner Set, in the color pink. 77 total pieces when counting lids. 6 lrg dinner plates 5 salad plates, 1 sm plate, 9 pink curved sm bowls. 1 lrg serving bowl and 1 large serving bowl with a lid. 5 serving plates of various shapes. One is elevated at one end. I am wondering what that was used to serve. 10 teacups and 10 saucers, 1 teapot, 2 creamers and 2 sugar bowls with lids. 1 set of salt and pepper shakers, and 1 dish that appears to me to be a gravy server. It is in excellent condition. A few very small chips on some of the curved bowl plate dishes. I do not know what they are called either. This is what I loved about this set is the various shapes it has and the colors with the little yellow butterfly. I would like to know an estimated value and how do I go about selling it? I would also like to know what the serving dishes were called and used to serve. Thank you. Julie
