Question:
I have a Red Wing Pottery baby grand piano (I do not have a picture available right now because I am at work). I would like to know the approximate value. The piano was a gift from my parents along with a set of Red Wing Dinnerware. I understand this is an approximation and not an actual appraisal. Glenda
Answer: Hi Glenda
The piano planter is shape #1525, from the mid fifties. Value is around 200.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I found a pitcher, imprinted on the side with "Red Wing Pottery" 2001. There is also what appears to be a name "Keith" which is imprinted at the base of the handle. Could you tell me anything about this pitcher? Sorry, I tried to upload a picture but it wouldn’t work. The pitcher is brown in color and about a pint capacity. The inside is glazed with a lighter brown. There is nothing on the bottom except three spots where it might have been attached to something in the making process. It has a mottled texture, three sets of lines encircling it and two squiggly or wavey lines which also encircle it. Beverly
Answer: Beverly
I do know the Red Wing name is used by a pottery in Red Wing. They make several different pieces, this would be one of them, with the date 2001. This is not to be confused with the old Red Wing, which quit business in 1967. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have a mini Madonna exactly like the large Madonna numbered #757 without the planter attached. It measures 2 3/4" high and weighs about 2oz’s. It also has the initials JW incised in the back on the bottom. Do you think this is a salesmans sample or a lunch hour piece, or what do you think? Thanks for your help. Debra
Answer: Hi Debra
not sure what to think, I doubt it’s a Red Wing item, a few other companies made similiar Madonna pieces, I would guess this is one of them. I can’t really give you value either. wish I could be of more help, thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I spotted this piece at a local church auction and bought it for only $1. I didn’t even see the name on the bottom because it is very faint and doesn’t stand out. Eventually, under closer examination, I made out that it is Red Wing. There is also a number above the name, it is also hard to make out, but looks like 841 (?). It is 8.24" tall and 3.50" wide at top. It is cream colored.

Answer: Hi Chris
this is the Murphy giraffe planter, but it’s a hobby shop item, not done by Red Wing. Molds were used by other people after the factory closed, this is one of those items. The glaze wasn’t used by Red Wing. Value maybe around 30.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have a white vase that was handed down from my father. He said it was a wedding present from my uncle. It is about 61 years old. It is white with 12 stripes on top going up and down, and the lower half is stars in four rows. The bottom is #1199 red wing underlined and usa under that. Inside the vase is a vintage green. Can you help? Thank you Pam from Portland Oregon
Answer: Hi Pam
your vase was designed in 1943, it could have been made for a few years after that. Kind of a patriotic feel about the form, from WWII. Value is around 55.00. thanks, steve n rose
