Question:
I acquired a stamped on bottom Red Wing dish with 2 sections, each has what appears to be a black and yellow bird with fruit. The pottery has a screen texture with white glaze. It measures 13 1/2" x 8". What can you tell me about this piece? Thanks. Kendra
Answer: Capistrano was introduced in 1953 and was made into the early 1960s. This pattern was designed by Charles Murphy. Murphy was Red Wing’s principal designer from 1941 until the close of the business in 1967. Value for this pitcher is $50-75 if it in excellent, undamaged condition. The value below for your pieces is based on mint condition.
Divided Vegetable Dish $20-25
Any damage (chips, cracks, crazing, hairlines) will diminsh the value by more than half.
I have a Red Wing bowl I picked up at a yard sale years ago just because we liked the look of it. It is marked Red Wing USA on the bottom. It is 12"x11"X6" and a speckled tan color. Not only is it oblong but the top rim actually has a wave to it. There is a 1/4" chip on the bottom base and about 1/16" (or smaller) chip on the top rim. Both are not easily visible unless one tries to find them. Otherwise the condition is good.
Hello I have the friar tuck thou shall not steel cookie jar (blue) i have seen a few of these for sale and on the bottom the markings show the red wind markings and the words hand painted and somewher else on the bottom. My question is mine has all that plus it has a patten number and then the inpressed stamp that reads red wing and USA ,I have not seen any with the patten number is there any added significance or aging connected to the patten number. Also mine is in mint condition ,not a chip to be found. Thank You very much for your help Ronald
I am beginning the process of downsizing. I am sending you an attachemnt of a Red Wing pitcher. The number of the bottom is #547. It says Red Wing on the bottom along with USA. The bottom has several small pieces of the blue pain off, but not really chipps Carol
We have a small plate 6-1/4" flat side to flat side. We absolutely cannont find this pattern anywhere. Help ! The mark is the red stamped Red Wing underglaze mark with the number 284. I can send that also if you like. Jim Patrick
Hello there… I was wondering if you could tell me the value of a couple of Red Wing pieces? One of which I do believe is part of a dinner set possibly as it resembles a double serving dish. It is Marked "Red Wing hand painted Oven Proof 341" The other is a turqoise apple which looks fairly old marked Red Wing on the bottom. And the last is a large HEAVY ash tray also marked on the bottom rim. Thanks for your time……. Rome and Jill
I have been collecting "Spruce" for many years and have a complete set of 24. I think I also have most serving pieces with the exception of the tallest cannister. What is the approximate value of the "Turquoise and White" bean pot and small casserole in the photo? It is the larger bean pot and smaller sized casserole. Both are in excellent condition. What other pieces were available in the Turquoise and White line? Thanks for any info you can pass my way and for the excellent website that I just found. Paul
