Question:
Greetings. I have a piece of Red Wing pottery that I have been curious about. I would call it (though I am no expert) "Deco Style". It is a pitcher, about 6" high, 9" wide. The body of the pitcher is "flying saucer" shaped with a double handle. The glaze appears to be somewhere between a matte and gloss finish. The color is black, or dark gray, somewhat like a gun barrel gray. It is marked on the bottom "Red Wing USA" along with the numbers 1580. They are all in a raised lettering. It is in mint condition with no cracks or chips. I have attached a picture. I thank you for your help and knowledge. Sincerely, Nancy Witham

Answer: Hi Nancy, it is an interesting shape, I would agree, somewhat deco-ish. It was designed in 1958, so it’s more of an atomic age design. Black is the glaze color. It has a value of around 50.00. thanks for the pic and good description. steve n rose

Question:
Hi guys I have this really neat Red Wing ashtray marked RED WING USA on the bottom. I believe ths to possibly be a noon hour piece or some form of experimental? The ashtray measures 6 5/8" across. As you can see in the photos it almost loks as if the mold was taken home a kid did the art work and then dad or mom took it back and glazed it over. The glaze seems to be a bit poor and not professionally done. Also inside the ship is the number 109 and it has on the front BROCK 6 1/2 years. Any ideas please let me know.

Answer: It is a Red Wing shape, although the number escapes me at the moment, from the mid-sixties. Think you are correct, it is child art. maybe for PT 109, JFK’S boat, I can’t say for sure. Usually the "noon hour" pieces have a glaze just like factory items. you might try some acetone to see if it indeed fired on. it is an unusual item, none the less. some collectors specialize in these pieces, if it is glazed, I would guess the value at around 300.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have found what appears to be a serving dish of some kind but may be something totally different too. It’s a green dish with roughly 1" tall sides that have a scalloped edge. The length is about 11" and the width varies from 6 or 7" in the center down to about 4" on the ends. It is stamped on the bottom with Red Wing #769 on the bottom. Any info would be very helpful.

Answer: It is listed as a piece of Red Wing artware, circa 1962. Kind of a console bowl. The glaze is most likely cypress green, and it has a value of around 20.00. thanks, steve n rose
