Ceramastone place settings

Question:
Hi, I have been the joke of the family for years about my Red Wing "splurge." I guess you could call me obsessed the day my Mother, Sister and I went to the Red Wing store in Red Wing, Mn. It was in the late 1960′s and I was newly married. I really got carried away. I couldn’t decide on a specific pattern, so I bought four separate patterns that sort of went together. I just looked at the Master Index and I’m sure of three. They are: HEARTHSTONE BEIGE—- HEARTHSTONE ORANGE—HEARTHSTONE and HEARTHSTONE BLEU. I have four placesettings of each with every single extra such as soup bowls, etc. I also have all the serving pieces inc. coffee pot, S & P shakers and lots more.

The joke part is that I never used them! They are all packed in boxes in my basement. I’m not even sure of all that I have. Now I am in the process of "scaling down/back." Years ago I saw like a piece here and there for sale, but never a whole set. I’ve made calls and I can’t seem to find the right place to show or sell them to/at.

I remember having another set that is all one color–sort of an orange. It is mainly a dessert set with again–many extra pieces such as ramekins, etc. It has been years since I’ve looked at them however, I am going to take them all out this next week to see exactly what all I have.

Red Wing Dinner Ware
Adobestone 3 place setting: Which each includes dinner plate salad/desert, bread and butter, cereal bowl

Greenwichstone 3 place settings

Hearthstone Beige 3 place settings

Hearthstone 4 place settings

Hearthsone Orange 2 place settings

Charstone Bleu 2 place settings

In addition in the pictures there are pictures of 2 platters, Picture, cream and sugar, salt and pepper and 2 small bowls.

Is this anything you would be interested in talking, writing, or looking at? I can guarantee every piece is in perfect condition.

I am located in Omaha, Nebraska so you can understand the price of mailing or shipping them would be a lot. Where are you?

Let me know if you ARE interested in knowing more info or giving me more info about "what I can do with them."

How much would this collection be able to be sold at? Anne

Could I email someone pictures so I could identify for sure?

Thanking you in advance, Anna Dransman

Platter with Red Wing sticker and painting

Question:
I found this very beautiful platter a while back and my boyfriend had noticed it had a red wing art sticker on the back. I’ve never seen red wing have anything like this and have no idea how to research it. I would like to know as much about it as I can learn. Thank you so much for your time. It’s between 16"-18" in diameter and weighs quite a bit. There’s a silver sticker on the back that says Red wing art pottery. There are no chips. It has what looks like hand painted flowers and a victorian couple getting on a boat. Aundrea

Fondoso dinnerware line pitcher

Question:
The pitcher shown in the attached photo was given to me by my mother. Can you tell me anything about the time it was manufactured?

What do you think of that value? Many thanks! Theresa
