Question: {mosimage}
Hi, I have a divided bowl in this same pattern. The oval bowl as the Red Wing symbol on the back. Can you please tell the year, designer and value? Thanks Elizabeth
Answer:
Your photo shows a bowl in the Frontenac pattern. Unfortunately you’ve provided no measurements for the bowl so I don’t know if it is a cereal bowl, sauce dish, nappy, etc. But given the bowl’s obvious crack it has minimal value, $5 to $10 at most and less if this is a small size bowl.
The divided bowl you mentioned is most likely a divided vegetable dish. Value is $20 to $25 in excellent condition. Chips and cracks reduce the value significantly.
Frontenac is a pattern from the Futura line and was introduced in 1958. It did not sell well and was dropped a couple of years later. The design of Frontenac has been attributed to Charles Murphy, but I do not have any original documents that confirm this.
