Question:
My friend has a set of Red wing dinnerware- Futura 1955 pattern Tampico.(Watermelon) She has a meat platter, gravy boat, cups and saucers, plates, salt and pepper shaker, sugar bowl and creamer- approximately 30-40 pieces in total. She is wondering what the estimated value would be on this collection? Thanks Nancy H.

Answer:
Nancy, It’s difficult to answer your question because you’ve given only a partial description and an estimate of the number of pieces involved. I also need to know the condition of the items to make an accurate estimate. Assuming most of the pieces are common plates, bowls, cups, saucers and the several accessory pieces you mentioned, this lot would probably be worth in the range of $100 to $250. Value depends greatly on condition and just exactly what pieces are included. Larry
