Question:
Hello To All, I have is lamp.. with an awesome glaze. At first I thought it was Stangl with a Rust glaze. Another collector was visiting and we were doing show and tell with mystery pots and out came this lamp. He said right off.. Red Wing.. and the glaze is super rare.. thus may question.. Can you clear up the mystery? Is this a Redwing lamp.. The lamp shape is indeed in the Ray Reiss book on page 94 lower left.. with number 24B.. this lamp itself is numbered 1094. I can not find any examples of this glaze on any item in the Riess book.. Thank You in Advance

Answer: Hi, It is a lamp made by Red Wing. For some reason, lamp shape numbers are a bit odd. It’s not a real rare glaze, it’s listed in a 1938 catalog as Red Wing- orange and bay. Collectors call it scarlet and bay. Lamps are a harder sell, even in a nice shape such as this. On page 190 of his first book there are a couple of examples. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
