Blue Vase, Western Stoneware

Question:
Hi. I have a 22 inch tall and about 28 inches around at the widest point, Wedgewood blue, perfect condition, floor vase (please see pictures attached) that is marked "Monmouth, Il" on the bottom. When I bought it in 1991 or so, I was told that it came from a renovation project (it was part of an old building) on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., where I reside. Can you give me a year of origin and approximate value of the art vase? Thank you for any help you can give me on this! R Jones

 

Answer: Hi, I think this would be from the thirties, I haven’t seen this particular shape, but it would be made by Western Stoneware. They don’t command the prices of a Red Wing floor vase, but it should bring 3-400. thanks, steve n rose

Brush Ware vase

Question:
Hello!!! I just recently picked up this fine piece of redwing pottery at a local estate sale. It caught my eye because it had an oval stamp on the bottom instead of the "normal pottery round mark" I don’t normally get into the pottery but I was wondering if this pattern had a name. it stands just over 8 1/4 inches tall and doesn’t have any cracks. Thanks a bunch!!!

Answer: Hi,

This is a brushed Ware vase, Dogwood, I think. there is no name for this particular pattern. It came in 3 sizes, this is the smallest. Dates from the thirties, and the glaze is light green. Value is around 65.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

15 gallon large with with damage

Question:
What could I sell this Redwing crock for? I have had it ‘forever’ and it got cracked in one of our moves across the country. It has Dec 21, 1915 on side. My husband put a wire around the top to help hold it together but I think it only takes away from its beauty. Thanks for your advice!

Red Wing Bird Bath

Question:
My parents have an Red Wing pottery bird bath in excellent condition. In an old catalog, it is called "The Thrush." Although they live in Red Wing and attend the various shows, they have never seen a bird bath like this, so don’t have any idea of its history or value. Can you help? Thanks!

Answer: Hi, it looks to be shape 116, from the late twenties. Brushed ware. Very nice item. I would price it at 4-500.00. thanks steve n rose

Red Wing 1574

Question:
Hi, First let me thank you for taking my question. I have a figurine of the Virgin Mary and I hope you can answer a few questions about her. The figurine is white and measures 10.25 inches in height and on the bottom is RED WING USA 1574. The figurine has no chips, cracks, stains or repairs. Please see attached photos. Thanks again, Joe

Answer: Hi Joe, having her marked is the most important thing, other companies made the Madonna shape as well. She is from around 1957. I would give her a value of around 125.00. thanks, steve n rose
