Question:
I found a large round white platter with a beautiful pattern of gourds/vines and flowers. on the back it says redwing pottery, inside a winged symbol, it also says hand painted. great condition, no cracks or chips. is this a significant piece

Answer: Sorry but I cannot identify your platter from the description provided. Many Red Wing dinnerware pattern feature flowers, but none have gourds and vines. Perhaps the gourds are some other fruit or vegetable? Tampico is the only pattern that comes to mind, but the Tampico platter is neither white nor round. Some additional descriptive information (dimensions, colors in the artwork) might help but a photo would be most helpful, especially if your platter is not a standard production piece.
