Answer: Most of your pieces are Red Wing Village Green but some are not. The divided vegetable dish to the right in the photo and three larger upright items to the right and back are not Red Wing. Several potteries made rustic green and brown dinnerware in the 1940s and 1950s and they are easily confused. I’m also not sure about the overturned pieces in the middle of the photo; it’s difficult to discern details in this small photo.
