Question:
Hello , I an inquiring in Brushed Ware garden items. I am an antiques dealer in Northern Illinois. I buy and sell alot of architectural and garden items. Is there a nitch in the stoneware collectors world for the garden items that Red Wing, Western, and RRPCo made? Some of these items are marked but most are not. It has been difficult to identify the makers as little information is available on companies garden line. Thanks for any and all help.
Answer: Hello
Lots of people collect this type of gardenware or brushed ware. Birdbaths are very popular. Yes, red wing, rrp, and western all did very similiar items, and it is hard to tell without any marks. These don’t appear to be Red Wing forms, the big pots may be, there is a shape #123, in a 10" size that looks real close. Still nice items, they should sell very well, especially if they are marked. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I just submitted a question regarding a piece but wanted to attach another picture.
Answer: one other giveaway on the hobby shop items, is the initials, or dates, these aren’t found on standard red wing items. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
Can’t find this in any of the books. Just wondering if you know if this is an experimental piece. On the bottom it says Red Wing USA 947 and then scratched into the glaze it either says HJ 81 or 18 PH depending on how you look at it. I have pictures of the bottom as well if you’d like me to send one. thanks. Ken Bahlman
Answer: Hi Ken
I’ve seen this piece done in the bronze line glaze. I think this is a hobby shop item, not done at red wing. Some red wing molds were used by other craft or hobby shops, where people could glaze them. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
