Question:
I have a green scalloped dish on a pedistal. It is marked RED WING USA 691 it has one small chip on the lip but the rest is in good shape. What is the estimated value of this piece? Matt Johnston
Answer: Hi Matt
Your compote is from 1960. The chip will hurt the value quite a bit. With the chip maybe around 15.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Hello – I bought this lamp at an estate auction. It is not marked. Is it a Van Briggle? Becca
Answer: Hi Becca
Oh, yes, it is Van Briggle. We call her the daughter of the flame. Did it come with a butterfly shade? Think this is the first Van Briggle question we have had. It’s hard to tell how old it is, without a pic of the bottom. Still a nice lamp, value is around 300.00 ro so. thanks, steve n rose (oh, look on the back of the base, there will probably be the AA van briggle mark there.)

Question:
I own a vintage white toothbrush holder with "#877 RED WING" printed on the bottom. The holder is a figure of a Scotty terrier sitting up on his hind legs with mouth wide open [for the toothbrushes]. When I received this as a gift, I was also given a business card for an antique shop in Bismarck, ND with the handwritten comment on the back: Mary Divine, granddaughter of William Henry Harrison." ~~ The piece is in excellent condition, no cracks or chips…and I want to sell it. I have had no luck with trying to verify the provenance but wonder if you folks can help. I was given the toothbrush holder and several other Scotty dog figures when I adopted a white West Highland terrier 16 years ago. All the figures are white (not black)– and the gifter was a friend from work… Can you help? Sorry no photo yet — I am buying a digital camera shortly… Dori
Answer: Hi Dori
Your Scotty Dog is actually a bud vase, but I can see it being used as a toothbrush holder as well. They date to around 1939. Can’t help you with the provenance, but they usually sell in the 175-200 dollar range. thanks, steve n rose
