Question:
A customer brought a blue/green ceramic or earthenware Christmas Tree Stand into my consignment store today. He contends that is a Red Wing pottery item of some value. It has no makings of any sort. I’ve checked several websites without finding anything similar and no reference for Red Wing making this item. Any info on this item will be greatly appreciated.

Answer: This is indeed a Red Wing Christmas Tree Stand. They were manufactured beginning in 1912 and are very desireable among the Red Wing collectors. Value is in the area of $700 to $1000 if in mint condition. Al Kohlman
