Question:
Thank you for your answers to the questions I had about Red Wing Artware pieces 1216 and 723-S. You mentioned that the "jolly jar" has 3 distinct patterns, and not green. I’m sorry, but what do you mean by an aftermarket piece? The bottom mark on the covered green piece is "Red Wing" USA with the number 723-S which is the same number that identifies the "jolly jar". I’m not familiar with the terminology "aftermarket". Thank you in advance for your explanation. Susan
Answer: Hi Susan, some molds of Red Wing were sold to other companies, or "hobby shops" where they were remade and glazed in any number of colors. The markings are still there, they just weren’t made by Red Wing. Hope I haven’t confused you more!! thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I have a large rosy pink mottled look item. I think it is called a Jardinier……It is Red Wing pottery. It has metal handles….in the shape of a circle…about 2 in. in diameter…Nowadays, you would call it a planter. It is probably about 16 in. or more high…and probably 12 or 13 in. across the top with a decorative one inch lip at the top. My mother gave it to me at least 30 or 35 years ago….She had one it in a drawing of some kind in Red Wing……She had it several years before she gave it to me…..By the way it is glazed. Thanks for your help in finding out the age and also what is worth……. Florence Ryan 1208 N. Garden St. Lake City, MN 55041
Answer: Hi Florence, We think you have a flower pot! Or Jardinere, or planter, they are all the same for the most part. A shape # would be great, but think your item is from the late 50′s, in fleck zephyr pink. They came in several sizes. Value would be around 65.00. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I recently picked up two pieces of Red Wing that I would like to know time period, desirability and possible value: The first is a vase numbered 1216. It is approximately 8" tall. It appears to be the magnolia pattern but the flower is not open like most and actually looks more like a rose from the side. The other piece has a lid, is numbered 723-S, is 7" tall to the top of the lid, and is solid green in color. I believe they call these jolly jars. The book I have showed it in mosaic and does not mention the green. Thank you for any information you may provide on these two items.
Answer: Hello, the 1216 is part of the Magnolia group, circa 1946. Value is around 55.00. The "jolly jar" has 3 distinct patterns, not green. It may be an aftermarket piece. Value? aroudn 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
