Question:
I have a Red Wing vase with ‘Red Wing 891′ on the bottom. It is blue on the outside and pink inside. I think it was a wedding gift to my grandparents (around 1910 or so?) Can you give me any information about it?
Answer: The earliest this vase was made was about 1939. Luster blue/rachelle lined would be the glaze. Value is around 25.00 or so. (maybe they had a second honeymoon) thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have an opportunity to buy a Lobby Jar/Umbrella Stand in "Redwing Potters and Their Wares 2nd Edition Book by Gary and Bonnie Tefft, Page 159, Figure 69— Deer — 12" diameter — 15" high. Could you give me a fair estimated value on this piece? Thank you, Cynthia Hall
Answer: HI, the deer/doe sand or lobby jar will sell for around 4-500 if it’s marked. Other companies made it as well. No mark will cut the value in half. Thanks, steve n rose
Question:
Hi, when I was younger I broke a statue of a blue boy at my grandmas. She is a huge red wing collector and that was one of her favorite items. do you know what exactly it was that I broke, how much they cost and where I could get a new one. Thank You so much Aimee
Answer: Aimee It depends on which "blue boy" you are talking about. There was a remake done a few years ago, quite tall, around 15" or so. Some of them are still around, can be found on ebay or at RWCS convention. There are about a dozen earlier ones, very rare, and done by hand. They are around 8" in height. Very rare, they command around 8-10,000. Hope it wasn’t the latter. Hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Hi, I have either a umbrella stand or sand jar. It is 16" tall and 13" wide. It’s brushware with two deer in a forest scene with a pinecone motif around the top. It’s in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. Can you give me a little history about the piece and what the approximate value is? Thanks! Keith Wilson Four Seasons Gallery
Answer: Hi Keith
this is a #107, it’s part of the Brushed Ware line, circa 1930. It was produced for several years. If it’s marked, great! But it could have been made by someone else as well. RRP out of Ohio made it too. It’s very difficult to tell the difference unless you know Red Wing’s glazes. The inside is the more tell tale when it comes to the glazes. Looks to have nice detail. Marked it is worth around 500+, unmarked half that. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I have a dish that says Red Wing USA on the back with a number either b or 8 1406. It is glazed with a gray on the outside and a peach color on the inside. It is about a foot long by about 8 inches wide. It is about 2 inches deep. The 8 inch sides have kind of a scallop edge, where 3 scallops are going in. It looks almost like the Red Wing is carved in the pottery.
Answer: This bowl would be the B1406, from around 1951. Luster Grey is the glaze. It was designed by Belle Kogan, hence the "B". Value is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
