Question:
I’d love to find out more about this piece that I just bought at a thrift store auction. I was not familiar with Red Wing pottery before I made the purchase. I love the color and the design. It is in great condition. I’d like to collect more!
It is a turquoise or teal colored, duck planter. Stamped “Red Wing 914” on the bottom (photos attached). Measurements are approximately:
5”H x 7”L x 4”W
Open back measuring 3 ½” x 3”
Is it authentic Red Wing? I was afraid b/c after researching your site, I saw another piece also numbered 914 (female centaur, bronze line graze.) If mine is real, when was it made, was it a part of a series, what is its approximate value today? Thank you so much!
Answer:
neat little planter. this dates to around 1939. sometimes the numbers were used over, for a different shape. this is pretty common practice. Value is around 80.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
