Question:
I recently found this pitcher and the color matches the mulberry color of the iris pattern. Since it does not have RED WING stamped on it, I am wondering if it is a Red Wing Piece and what the value of it is. Thank you!

Answer: Yes, this is a Red Wing pitcher in the Concord shape. The mulberry color would go with either the Iris or Quartette dinnerware patterns. Some Concord water pitchers are handpainted to go with a specific pattern; those are generally marked on the bottom with an ink stamp. Other Concord water pitchers are a solid color and were made to go with several patterns; these are not marked.

A mulberry Concord water pitcher in excellent condition is worth $40 to $60.
