Question:
Is a North Wind bowl Red Wing? We recently purchaced an advertising 7" bowl identified as a Redwing North Wind bowl by the seller. The advertising is "IT PAYS TO MIX WITH ANDERSON HARDWARE"printed in brown with a circle around the advertising. It is ivory in color and the glaze looks like Red Wing. It is decorated with old wood sailing ship with a flag flying above the sail alternating with with a face in a cloud portraying blowing. The pattern is displayed 4 times around the bowl. There is a number 300 on the bottom. I don’t own a digital camera so I can’t take a quick picture for you. I can bring the bowl to convention.

Answer: I have never heard of a Red Wing North Wind bowl, and with what you have described, I don’t think your bowl is Red Wing. Without seeing a photo of it, I have a very difficult time trying to identify it. If you could bring it to the July convention, either I or other long time Red Wing collectors would be happy to help you out on your bowl. Maybe we will meet at the convention. Al Kohlman
