Question:
Please help me identify this set of (3) mint condition canisters. Picture attached. Thank you. Red Wing 713 S Red Wing 714 M Red Wing 715 L

Answer:Red Wing called these Jolly Jars, and they came in three versions. Yours is called Sweet Shop. The other two are Mosaic (yellow, turquoise and brown squares and rectangles) and Sierra (abstract figures in brown, yellow and white). These are not part of any dinnerware pattern, rather they are listed in Red Wing art pottery catalogs in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
