Question:
Hi, and thanks in advance for you time. While helping clean out my mother inlawsa basement I came across this bowl. I think it is a red wing bowl, although it does not have a marking on it. With the bit I have reaad, they did some of this typeof advertising ware for several places in the Heartland. The diameteracorss the top is 7 inches the bottom is 3. It stands about 3 1/4 inches high. The name is Glenwood City. It took me bit to read but as she grew up there, I wonder if this may have even belonged to her mother. As to condition it has small scrtaches on the outside but i do not see and nicks or cracks. Not sure what else to add. Would lilke to know if it is indeed redwing. Could ask my nieghbor but I think that if it is redwing i may use as gift for her. She teaches my child piano and is a collector of red wing pottery. thanks agin
Answer: Yes, your bowl is Red Wing and it is called a Milk Pan. With the advertising, your milk pan would have a value in the area of $125 to $150. That would be a nice gift in my books. Al Kohlman
