Question:   {mosimage}
Dear Red Wing Collectors, I inherited this casserole from my grandmother. My mother recalls there being another piece that went with, however we have been unable to locate it. Can you please tell me any information about the piece, including its year, designer and value? Thank you! Elizabeth

Answer:
Your photo shows a casserole stand, not the casserole itself.  This handled tray or stand was used to hold a covered casserole dish.  Apparently you are missing the casserole and its cover.  These stands were made in three sizes (8, 10 and 12 inch) to fit the three sizes of Village Green casseroles.
 
The Village Green pattern was introduced in late 1951 or early 1952.  It was one of Red Wing’s best selling patterns and continued production until the pottery closed in 1967.  Village Green was designed by Charles Murphy.  By itself your casserole stand is worth around $15 to $25.
