Question:
Hi, a friend has a charles Murphy piece M-1565.It is fleck nile blue. Is this considered a vase or pitcher? It looks like a water pitcher to me. Also, is there any other pieces that should go with it? Thanks for this service, Joanne
Answer: Hi Joanne
it is a pitcher form, but it’s considered art pottery, not dinnerware. It really doesn’t belong with any other shapes, just part of a general line, circa 1957. Va;lue is around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Hello: When I was a child in the 1950′s we had a spoon rest in the shape of a wing in a lovely dark red glaze. Does Red Wing still make this and if not, is there a site where I might find one to buy. thanks. Doug
Answer: Hi Doug
I don’t think there is a spoon rest in a wing form, but there is an ashtray, which I think would work just as well. Red Wing went out of business in 1967, but if kyou check ebay, or some shops around Red Wing, I think you can find another. I think these usually sell for around 50-75.00. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I was recently cleaning out some of my mother’s things and came across some very old Red Wing pottery pieces. It contains two five-piece candy dish sets that I remember seeing at my grandfather’s home when I was little. The printing on the bottoms of the candy dish sets says "1380 Red Wing USA". In addition to the previously mentioned sets, there was also one large matching bowl. The printing on the bottom of the bowl is "278 Red Wing USA". As you will see in the attached picture they appear to be in very good condition. Only one of the small pieces of one candy set appears to have been cracked and subsequently repaired. Other than that, they appear to be in perfect condition. Can you please shed some light on the potential value/interest in a set like this? Thank you in advance your help. Cheryl Dougherty
Answer: HI Cheryl
these sets were made around 1949, value is about 60.00 for each set. thanks, steve n rose
