Question:
My sister-in-law has 3 Red Wing canoes. 9" #734, 12" # 735, and 17" #733. They are glazed, off white, with brown antiquing. She believes they are the Birch Bark Line. They say Red Wing on the bottom with the numbers. She would like to know the value of these three canoes, and are they really celery holders, as she has been told. Thank you very much, Jane
Answer: Hi Jane, they are part of the birch bark line, circa 1960. Art pottery, not celery holders!! altho they would work for that, I guess.. Value is around 700.00 for all three. thanks, steve n rose

I have a 9.5" vase. Light green in color with a floral arrangement of three flowers on both sides. On the bottom it is marked Red Wing with the #1196. I believe the piece is over 60 years old because it was given to my wife’s parents for their wedding in 1947.

Question:
Just bought a Red Wing tepee ashtray at an antique store and was quite taken with it. On the bottom, it is marked Red Wing U.S.A. 827. It is also hand painted with the name Pauline ’68 engraved in the bottom. I’m wondering if it wasn’t painted by the owner. Look forward to your feedback.
Answer: The potteries closed in 1967, so this would have been done at a hobby shop, not at the potteries. cute decoration, though. Value around 15.00. thanks, steve n rose
