Village green pieces

Question:
I have a large set of what I believe is from the Village Green line. Out of all the pieces I have, only the coffee pot is actually marked. I was wondering if there is anyway to tell for sure if it’s all Red Wing or not. And if you wouldn’t mind, what would a ballpark figure be for the value of it all? Thanks for any help you may be able to offer me.

Bob White bowls

Question:
Dear Expert: I have a set of 4 bowls with the stamped label "RED WINNG HAND PAINTED OVEN PROOF U.S.A." on each one’s base. There are 3 numbers stamped beneath the "U.S.A.," but they are partially obscured (on each bowl); it looks like the numbers are "241." The bowls are scoop-shaped (i.e., not completely round, but purposely ovalish, with an elongated shape characterized by 2 opposite ends/sides that higher than the other 2 sides). They each have a cream/tan colored background, with brown speckled glaze all over. On the interior of each both, there are two birds (brown and turquoise- colored) and a turquoise colored branch/flower above them. Very faintly in the background behind the birds are what appear to be branches(?). The bowls are in excellent condition — brand new! — with original brown paper/cardboard separators between them. I would love to know how old they are (in addition to their value)! Thank you very much, A. Howard

Question:
I have some dishes in the Red Wing Blossom Time-Green pattern. I have 7 dinner plates, 1 small bowl, 5 salad/desert plates, 7 saucers, 8 teacups and creamer, teapot and salt & pepper shakers. They have been used and have glazing on most pieces, they are slightly discolored also. The small bowl has several small chips and one teacup has a small, almost undetectable chip.
