Question:
Hi, years ago my mother got a tall pitcher from a sale. It is cream color, little over a foot high and has images of old planes, cars, etc. I had once heard that this was made in honor of the World’s Fair. My mother passed in 1976 and I just hung onto it. There are no damages except more of a "crackling" in the glaze. Is this piece of value? Thank you! Cathy

Answer: Cathy, you have your Red Wing history fairly close on this one. Your mother’s Red Wing Transportation pitcher was a specialty item made for the 1933 World’s Fair. The set included the pitcher and four mugs. In mint condition the value of your mother’s pitcher is between $200 & $225. Al Kohlman
