red wing vase 897

Question:
I have a vase from Red Wing and would like to know the approximate value. It is white, shell shaped and is approx. 4.5 inches high, 2.5 inches wide at the base and 4.25 inches wide at the widest part of the top. It sits on a base and fans out at the top, looking like a shell. The base reads "Red Wing 897". Thank you

Answer: hello, the 897 was originally designed in 1939, one of the more popular shapes ever made. It comes in many glazes. Value is around 35.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
