Question:
Can someone recommend a good "pricing guide" for RedWing, both pottery and dishes. Barnes and Noble has a guide for stoneware but not for other stuff. Thank you very much!!! Nancy
Answer: Hi Nancy
Red Wing art pottery two, by Ray Reiss, is probably the best for art pottery. There is some dinnerware in it, but not much. Dinnerware hasn’t had a book done in many years. Check ebay for prices also. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
This piece came with a family set of "Capistrano" dishes, but it doesn’t in any way match that pattern. I can only assume from my research that its Belle Kogan, maybe Tropicana only because of the form & colors. The bottom is a dark green. It is embossed "Red Wing Pottery U.S.A." but is faint. Dimensions at the corners are 13-1/2" x 8-1/2".
Hello
this is shape #1383, from around 1954. It could be a Kogan shape, but it sin’t attributed to her having designed it. There are a pair of candleholders that match this console bowl. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
My mother had a mulberry wing ashtray that has no numbers on it. It is 7 1/2" long. It is very graceful, the widest part being 3 3/4" and the lower curve of the wing 2". I have seen photos of others that appear to be fatter with a less elegant curve to the wing. It has Red Wing Pottery arched on the base USA in the center and Red Wing Minnesota curved below. The feathers are beautifully molded. When did they begin making the wing ashtrays and could this be a trial piece since it has no numbers? Thank you! Barbara
Answer: Hi Barbara
the "wing" ashtrays were designed in 1953. I don’t think any had a design number. They came in 4 different colors, and sell for around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
Hello I found it in a friends barn, I think it was used as a flower vase, I have used it as a candle holder and unfortunately the candles have stained the bottom, can the stains be removed safely? It measures 12 inches from one rounded corner stright across to the other corner, if you were to measure digagonal its 15 inches across, it’s 2 1/4 inches tall. It is a turquoise glaze on the outside and inside is antique white/cream. It is like a rounded square with the sides folded inwards, it has the age crackle inside along with the candle stain, and there is what looks like a crack on the inside and outside, but you can’t feel it. On the bottom under the glaze is the number 1306 under the number is the name RED WING and under that is USA. Thank you for any information you can give me. Thank you Nadine
Answer: Hello Nadine
this is actually a console bowl, from around 1947. It is quite durable, it can be scrubbed, and some stains can be removed with hydrogen peroxide, like what’s used by beauty salons. Value is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I have a small Red Wing vase. Red Wing 897 is stamped on the bottom. The vase has a blue glaze mat finish in a fan or shell design; it’s about 2-1/2" at the base; and measures 4-1/2" tall. I’m interested in dating the piece and an estimated value. Thanks so much for your time. Jennifer
Answer: Hi Jennifer
this vase was designed in 1939, a very popular shape, it was made for many years. This looks to be a glaze from the 40′s. Value is around 40.00. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have Bella Kogen tex-large vase , serving tray and 2 candle holders all are gray and pink from 1950"s Im willing to sell. Liz
Answer: Hi Liz
we do have a classified section here. If you can give me some shape numbers, I can give you an estimated value. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
This is a shallow (about 2") oval bowl (9 1/2" wide x 16" long) with deer (10" tall). Brown glazing accents. Deer has holes in base for floral arrangements. Bottom of bowl has "Redwing" with the leg of the R underlining the rest of the name with U.S.A. S26 that looks to be impressed rather than engraved into the clay before glazing. It’s hard to read on the creamy white color as it’s not deeply etched or colored. I also have round ribbed candleholders about 3" high and 1 1/2 inches diameter. Any idea if it’s real Redwing or of it’s value. It’s my mother’s, probably a wedding gift, or sometime thereafter, in 1944. Thanks Gwen
Answer: Hi Gwen
Your timeframe is correct, early 40′s. This is the deer "frog" and console bowl, shape #526, and 531. It is indeed made by Red Wing. If the cnadleholders are the same glaze, I’m sure they are as well. Value for the console bowl W/deer is around 75.00, and a pair of candleholders around 45.00. thanks, steve n rose
