Question: {mosimage}
Hi, I have a piece of saffron that I have not seen before and wonder if you can help. The piece is 7 1/" high and approx 8" wide. No discoloration and signed on the bottom. I have attached some pictures.

Answer:
Ron, this is a nice Red Wing Saffron-ware butter pail. I have seen them in Gray line, but yours is the first in Saffron for me. It looks to be in great condition and staining always seems to be a problem with Saffron-ware. So without the staining you have a very nice and somewhat rare piece. I would place the value on this piece between $200 & $300. Al Kohlman
