Question:
I would like to know the value of a pig pitcher. It says "patented Smiley" on the bottom. My mother in law said she bought it at red wing in 1946-47.The pigs tail is the handle and the mouth is the spout. It has blue and red flowers on it’s chest. It’s eyes are closed with very long eyelashes. It is cream colored. Thanks!

Answer: The pig pitcher may have been purchased in the city of Red Wing but it was not made by Red Wing Potteries. A quick Google search lead me to a pig pitcher that fits your description that was made by Shawnee Pottery.
