Question:
I purchased a royal blue teapot with a large leaf design as part of the mold. It is marked on the bottom, 259 Red Wing U S A It is in near perfect condition, but has a small hairline crack at the base of the handle. Can you tell me if it has any value? I paid $20.00 Lorna

Answer: Hi Lorna

this is actually dinnerware, think they date to the late 30′s early 40′s. It didn’t belong to any partcular pattern, just one of the many different tea pots Red Wing made. Perfect, the value is around 75.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
