Red Wing USA 1017. Magonlia Group

Question:
I have two identical small bowls (apps 7" x 5" x 3" tall) in the antique white color with "Red Wing USA 1017" stamped on the bottom. I think it’s the Magnolia pattern. They both look to be in perfect condition. My mother is from Minnesota and has had them as long as I can remember (58 years at least). Can you tell me when they were made and if they have any value? Thanks for your help. Carole

Answer: Hi Carole

the bowls date to 1940, and are part of the Magnolia group. there are actually 3 sizes of this form, yours being the smallest. Value is around 40.00 each. thanks, steve n rose

Green Vase with lion’s head on side

Question:
I have a large vase the I found in a relative’s barn. she collected a lot of early American pottery and this is the last piece in the collection that I have. I have been trying to identify it for years and came up with nothing. It has a rough texture like stucco on the outside. It is very uneven and looks to be hand made. It has two lion’s head handles on it, and an 11a marked on the bottom. Any information would help. The closest vase I found like this was at the 2002 Wisconsin pottery show web site. Adam
