Pink Red Wing Grape Shaped Cookie Jar

Question:
I have a pink Redwing cookie jar in the shape of a bunch of grapes in excellent condition with no flaws I could find. I was wondering what it;s value is approx. I had another one of these that I sold on e-bay which was a green color and it sold for $750.00. See link:

Capistrano pattern

Question:
In the early 60′s I began purchasing Red Wing "dinnerware" for my hope chest (does that date me?) Before I could complete the set I was told that the pattern had been discontinued. I have 8 large dinner plates, 8 bread and butter plates and 8 cups and saucers. I recently became curious and began searching to see if I could acquire additional pieces. I found your web site. I cannot identify the pattern. Can you provide some information to me on this particular pattern and whether it is worth anything? Thanks for your assistance and Happy Holidays! :-) P.S. since it appears I can only upload one file, the back of the bread and butter plate states Red Wing Hand Painted Ovenproof U.S.A. 121 Carolyn

Reed Pieces, Gypsy Trail

One shape I would call the flair shape where the edges go straight out from the center, and the other a tulip shape where the edges turn under at the outer edge. I know that this was made for a about 30 years so there could be a change in style. Do you know the reason for the change and which style belongs to what era? Jody
