Fondoso bowl with pat. pending marking, Gypsy Trail Line

Question:
I have an interesting Red Wing Potteries dish(maybe bulb planter???). It measures about 9" across at the widest with handles. It is bottom marked: "C REDWING POTTERIES INC. DESIGN PAT. PENDING". This marks looks a little unusual to me. I am guessing it dates to the late 30s early 40s and it was a transitional piece between the round blue ink stamp on some of the early art pottery pieces and the more normal looking mark followed by USA and/or a number. I would like to know if there is a pattern name to this piece, if the bottom mark is rare and/or collectible, and what would the book value be? Thanks Jon from Iowa

Lotus Pattern pieces

Question:
Hi, My mother has a set of dinnerware in the Lotus pattern #117 which includes 8 dinner plates, 16 saucers, 8 cups, cream, sugar and gravy boat. I remember growing up Mom would get them out during the holidays so they have been used. Am wondering if I decide to sell what would be a fair asking price? Is it better to sell the collection as a whole, or by the piece? Than you very much. Thanks Lois
