Question:
I have a "Red Wing Art Pottery" jug with a cap on the spout that has a cork afixed to the cap. The piece itself looks like a teapot. Its approximately 6" tall and 7-1/2" wide. The color is a black shiny appearance. Do you have any idea of its age or value? Thank you in advance! Dorothy
Answer: Dorothy, it’s from the late 30′s, shape #50. A ball jug, as we call them. having the cap helps, they go missing a lot of the time. value around 65.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

I picked up this umbrella stand in Wisconsin about 15 years ago. I’m certain it is the same as one pictured in an old Red Wing catalog. I believe it is a rare piece and can not find any pricing information. Could you please give me an estimate on it’s value and whether there is a market for this type of item? Thanks much!
Answer: Hi, it is a rare item, and collectors would want this one. not too many of these are around. It’s most likely from the 20′s era. I would guess the value to be 1000.00 + thanks, steve n rose
Question:
i have a violin that is marked RED WING USA 907 on the back with initials( T N ) with a little music note. the initials are painted in the red and brown paint. has two small chips on neck. also has hole in the top by the pegs to hang it. any information regarding the estimated price/value, information on the initials, and why i have never seen another one painted like this one.. are they supposed to be?? thanks
Answer: Hi, I would guess this to be a hobby shop item, done after the factory closed, It’s a red wing mold, but I don’t think they made it. It’s a hanging planter. The initials are probably who decorated the violin. Value is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I have #1359, coffee cup handled vase, in 8 color combinations: brown exterior/gold interior, raspberry/turquoise, yellow/gray, green/yellow, coral/jade, blue/yellow, gray/pink, turquoise/white. I would like to know how many color combinations it came in. Also any history, designer, value would be appreciated. I bought 2 in San Diego, where I live, the others in Red Wing on vacation about 12 years ago. Can you email answer to me or notify me if posted on site? Thank you!
Answer: Hi, it was designed in 1949, we call it the stacked teacup vase. It was made for several years, at least thru 1953. I’m not sure how many glaze colors it came in, but I would guess there are a few you don’t have. thanks, steve n rose
