Bakeware (Oomph) set of 10″, 8″ and 6″ bowls

Question:
Hi, I saved this bowl set from going to my wife’s garage sale and found it marked with the bowl size, REDWING and possibly Co, hard to tell. I cannot find others like it and would like to know as much as you can tell me. It came from Grandma’s, three bowls 10, 8 and 6, green on inside that rolls over the top and down an inch or 2 on the outside, then a dark brown. The pieces have no chips except possibly on the larger bowl on the bottom where it sits (can’t tell if chips or made that way). I will check back periodically on the site and an email would be appreciated, THANKS!!

Orleans Pattern Dinnerware

Question:
The time has come to downsize! I have my parents collection of Red Wing dinnerware that would appear to be the Orleans Provincial (1941)design. The set has been untouched since 1987 and is in good (some spalling but no cracking and a noticable chip on one soup bowl lid) to excellent (some pieces look almost new) condition. I have the pitcher, approximatley 9" tall, that is the sample picture on your website and, other than that the flowers on mine are painted on a more vertical line, they are identical. I would note that the color of the main flowers on my pitcher as well as the entire set are in a light violet tint while your picture makes them look more orange but that may either be the size of your picture or the artisans were given leeway to use different hues. To save time I am not including pictures but would be glad to if it were important to you. The set has the following pieces:

PIECE # Dinner plates 8 (10" diameter)
Lunch/Salad plates 5 (7" diameter)
Fruit plates 7 (6" diameter)
Soup bowls 8 Soup bowl lids 8 (with flower handle)
Coffee cups 7 Coffee saucers 8
Tea pot w/ lid 1
Vegetable server 1 (w/ handle & 8" diameter)
Veg. server lid 1 (w/ flower handle Fruit bowl (shallow)
1 (12" diameter)
Pitcher 1
Platter round 1 (14" diameter)
Salt shaker 1
Pepper shaker 1

I am also curious as to whether these pieces are dishwasher safe. Our dishwasher does not have a heating/drying element but uses the retained heat from the water to dry.

As further background, my sense is that this set would have been purchased through Macy*s New York as my father was an executive with them for nearly 40 years. I remember these plates mostly used as everyday service when I was a little boy in the mid-1950′s so would have to assume they were purchased some time in the 1940′s.

If there are any questions you have that would help you please send them to me at the email address provided. Thank you for your input, Michael

Lexington Rose pattern

Question:
Please identify the pattern in the attached photo. The bottom of the plate is stamped with the words, "Redwing Pottery" and "Hand Painted", while the cup is stamped "May 7 1948". The shape is "concord" and the colors are light to dark pink for the rose and varying shades of green for the leaves very much like "Blossom Time". The cup has a rose on the inside and the outside. I have several plates, saucers, cups and one oval serving platter. The platter is in very good shape while the plates and cups have varying amounts of crazing. Thank you for your help.

Bob White values

Question:
Hi. My husband’s grandmother had a bunch of Bob White Dinnerware. We’re looking to sell some of the more unique pieces and would like to know the value as to how to list them. They are the following: All Bob White.
1. Two-gallon water cooler with lid, base and spigot. All MINT condition. No cracks, stains, simply beautiful. Never used.
2. 24 inch bread tray.
3. Salad serving bowl. 1st generation. This HAS the recessed bottom…the one before RW figured it was hard to wash so they filled it in.
4. Butter warmer with copper burner(lid too).
5. Split oval vegetable servers.
6. 3 part relish trays.

I think that’s about it for the values that we can’t find. Are the classifieds on this site a good way to sell these? Just curious. Thanks so much! Rachel
