I have a pair of 4 1/2" Trader Vic S&P shakers that were purchased about 20 years ago. They resemble standing pagan, stone gods and are brownish-gray color. Did Redwing make these? Do they have any colletable value? Also: Did Redwing make any early-day Bird Figurines. Many thanks, Ed
Answer:
Ed, We have a pair of the same Trader Vic S&P shakers and I’m quite certain they were not made by Red Wing. The glaze, color and clay don’t fit with other Red Wing items, and they don’t have the right "feel". I’ve seen no documentation that Red Wing made these. Trader Vic contracted with several different companies to make items, and I believe that applies to these shakers.
Trader Vic items are definitely collectable. I really can’t give an accurate value for these but if pressed I’d estimate the value to be in the $25 to $50 range. thanks, Larry
