Red Wing 879, fish vase

Question:
I have a five inch fish vase in great condition the same as the pale green one the person asked about. It says Red Wing 879 on the bottom. Sorry I have no way of posting photo but am hoping it is worth about the same $150.00. Also it is a brown color. Thank you for your help. Kathleen

 

Answer: Hi Kathleen

it should be around the same value, the glaze colors don’t make a lot of difference in the prices. thanks, steve n rose

“Streamlined” pitcher, part of Gypsy Trail

Question:
My 85 year old mother-in-law recently passed away, and I found a pitcher I’m curious about: 1. It’s marked RED WING POTTERIES, INC.,DESIGN PAT PENDING, USA on bottom. 2. Color is "mustard yellow". 3. It’s not a "ball" pitcher (shape is more oval), and not a tea pot (no lid).But most interestingly, handle is on top, not side, and stretches entirely over the opening where you would pour liquid into it. It has a separate "spout" for pouring . Apologize for no photo, I’m not very "tech" savvy, but may be able to get my young son to help me post one if needed. 4. Condition is "good" (no chips or cracks), but color is uneven (age?). P.S. She was originally from Georgia, and walked to Fla. with her entire family around 1930 searching for work. Thank you in advance for your time, Sincerely, C. Starling
