Question:
Hey guys, a friend of mine has an old Redwing Pottery set and we were wondering what the estimated worth is! The pattern is crazy rhythm!

1 serving dish 15 x 11 (1 chip on edge)
1 divided serving bowl 10 x 8 ½ (2 small chips)
1 serving bowl 9 x 8 (3 very small chips) 
4 soup bowls 8 x 7 (a few chips)
5 small bowls 5 x 5 ¼ (2 perfect, 3 small chips)
1 creamer (1 small chip) 1 sugar bowl (small chip)
1 sugar bowl cover (top broken off)
9 cups (all perfect)
4 small plates (2 perfect, 2 with 1 small chip each)
2 cup saucers (both perfect) 8 platters (various small chips)

Thanks!

Answer:
Thank you very much for your thorough description of these items. It helps me provide a more accurate response for you.

Unfortunately damaged dinnerware, especially common pieces like these, has little value. The 15 x 11 platter would be worth around $30-35 in excellent condition, but the chip will reduce that by half or more. The same is true for the chipped divided vegetable bowl, which would be worth around $25-30 if undamaged. The sugar and creamer pair would be worth around $30, but with the broken top on the sugar brings the value down to only a few dollars. The rest of the plates, bowls and cups would be worth $10-15 each, but the damage on common pieces reduces this to only a dollar or two. The 9 perfect cups need 9 perfect saucers in order to have any real value. Some collectors may be willing to accept a few inexpensive damaged pieces to fill a spot in their collection until a better piece is available, but most would not be interested.
