Question:
Is this a Red Wing pottery piece? And if it is what is the approximate value? It is 8 1/2 inches tall. No chips or cracks. Detailed Indian side portrait. Detailed handle with bumps down the handle with an Indian head at the top of the handle. No markings on base. The opposite side has detailed teepees and trees.

 

Answer: Sorry, but your pitcher is not Red Wing. It sounds like Sleepy Eye which was made by the Western Stoneware Company. However, the picture does not show me enough to be sure that it is Sleepy Eye indeed. Also, there are reproductions of Sleepy Eye, so I do not want to guess a value without knowing for sure. Sorry.
