Learned from reading questions that my vase must be bisk <sp?> rather than art pottery as the bottom is unglazed. It is 12" height x 6" across top slightly tapering to base. Cylindrical in shape. Vertical closely ribbed pattern with a four inch band surrounding top which has two large birds standing in what appears to be a marsh. Cattails, foliage/water. The clay is yellow & glaze is dark teal/green. Exterior is matte finish; interior is glazed glossy teal green. Birds may be cranes, egrets or maybe even wild turkeys. Mark is 1906-1935 Red Wing Union Stoneware Company Red Wing Minnesota in a circle on bottom. I intend to sell & hope I haven't paid too much for it. If so I can keep it! <G> Any values would help. Is it considered "brushware?" Thanks in advance very informative! Best regards, Sandy Lum
