ifirgit --- In 1943 Red Wing came out with a series of the vases of which yours are a part of. They started out with 1201 that was 8" tall, then 1203 that was 9 in, then your 1203 that was 10inches tall, then 1204 that is 14" tall. They also made a bowl 1213 that was 9 inches in diameter and another vase 1214 that was 7 1/2 inches in diameter and about 4 inches tall. Some came with the fonts (leaves)on the corners hand painted under the glaze or with a standard glaze. Yours at this time is valued at from $60 to $90 in mint condition. Chips and cracks lower the value rather quickly. If you are just starting collecting Red Wing Art Pottery you might go to the reference section of this web site and contact Ray Reiss and aquire his books on Red Wing Art Pottery. This is a real must for the real collector.
