Question:  Hello

 I live in Lancaster PA, my parent’s and sister live in Red Wing and Lake City on visits I love looking for Red Wing Stoneware. I was at an estate sale today and saw a lot that I believe is Village Green Dinnerware. The lot included five cups and this handled and spouted piece which I have not been able to find pictures of. No-one at the auction or the auctioneer knew what it was and I bought the whole lot for $1.00. I was wondering what the piece is and what it might be worth. Thank you for your time.

Answer:

The item in the photo is a Fondue Casserole.  It was included in Gift and Novelty brochures from the late 1950s and early 1960s.  Although the colors are Village Green this item was never included in Village Green brochures or price lists.  Value is in the range of $30-40 if it is in mint condition.
