Question:
I recently picked up two pieces of Redwing pottery that I am unfamiliar with, and I hope that you can help me. The first piece is a 3.5" square covered box in maroon. The top of the box has (I think) a magnolia flower on it. This piece is marked "Redwing USA 1016" on the bottom. The second piece is a covered jar that measures 4.5" wide 3" deep and 2.5" high. It is slightly curved in the middle and the handle is somewhat like a figure eight. This piece is ivory with pink flowers and green leaves and yellow flowers on a black vine. The mark on the bottom is the "Redwing Handpainted" bird. Can you tell me what these pieces are?

Answer: The box is a 1018, from the magnolia line. Used to hold smokes. It’s from around 1940, with a value of 60.00 or so. the second piece is actually dinnerware! It’s a sugar bowl from 1952, part of the fancy free line. Value around 15.00. thanks, steve n rose
