Question:
I have a set of 5 small chicks. They are all glazed in different colors. The markings are odd and I am almost certain that there are numbers on them although very very faint. I am thinking maybe these were samples of colors? One is distinctly marked R Wing. I appreciate your expert opinions. The pieces are WHITE underglazed but one of them does show the clay coloring to be a light brownish/beige color. Thanks! Theresa

Answer: Theresa, I haven’t seen this particular item in any Red Wing books or sales. The bottom mark is intriguing, though. I’m still leaning as to them not being Red Wing. The glazes just don’t look right. Wish we could be of more help, thanks, steve n rose
