Red Wing Pottery Art Deco Vase, Shape #951

Story

In 1940, the Red Wing Potteries were undergoing a massive transformation, shifting their focus from the heavy stoneware crocks of the 19th century to sophisticated 'art ware' for the modern American home.

Maker / Origin

Red Wing began in the 1870s making utilitarian jugs and butter churns, but they became a household name by hiring visionary designers like Belle Kogan to modernize their aesthetic.

Condition & Value

The vase appears to be in very good vintage condition with no visible chips or cracks. There is some minor surface residue and light scuffing consistent with age, particularly around the relief design, which is common for these satin glazes. Maintaining this clean condition is vital for preserving its value.
