Question:
Hello! I recently purchased 2 matching red wing pitchers at an estate sale. The owner is 88 yrs old and is moving into assisted living. She said that she had owned the pitchers "as long as she could remember" but could not tell me any more about them. I have attached a piture. They are a beautiful yellow with green interior, about 10 inches tall, and are marked on the bottom "922 Red Wing". They are in immaculate condition. Can you tell me the pattern name, how old they are, and how much they are worth? Any other information you have would be appreciated. Thank you! Deborah
Answer: Hi Deborah, your pitchers are from 1939. They don’t belong to any particular "pattern", but belong to Belle Kogan’s 100 line. Value is around 60.00 each. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have not been able to find any information on this piece or anything even like it. It’s a small (about10 inches tall?, blue, double spouted picture with a handle between the spouts. It has a raised design on both sides that appear to be a circle of leaves with a star at the top. The bottom reads "red wing 766". The piece is in perfect condition, no chips, cracks, fading etc. It also has the original receipt from my Grandfathers purchase tucked inside and it’s dated 1941.Do you have ANY information about this piece and a possible estimated value? Due to the economy I’m forced to sell some things. A shame, I love this piece.
Answer: Hi, your timeframe is correct, the glaze looks to be dutch blue. This shape is fairly hard to find, and collectors like this glaze. The original receipt would be fun as well. Value around 100.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
