Delta Blue 66 piece pattern set
Question:
Hello, My Mom has at least 66 pieces of the "Delta Blue" Red wing. She has cake plate, platters, large water/tea jug that appears to have set in some type of stand so it can be tipped over to pour, pitchers, sugar, creamer, cups, etc. We are wondering the value of what she has. All of it is in perfect condition, no chip or cracks. I have some pictures of it in the hutch and will take more pictures tomorrow out of the hutch. Thanks for you help. Susan
Answer: A large collection of Delta Blue in near mint condition would be very valuable. A thorough inventory list would be very helpful to provide an accurate estimate for your pieces. Please email it to director@redwingcollectors.org.

Red Wing Canister set
Question:
looking for price on 4 piece red wing canister set.
Answer: Red Wing had several canister sets. If you could provide a description of the pattern or color that would be helpful in determining what set you have. To determine value we would need to know condition of each piece For example Fondoso canister covers will state "FLOUR" "SUGAR, etc. Gypsy Trail canisters have a single letter that indicates the use — S, C, F, etc. If you have a photo that would also be helpful. Please email this information to director@redwingcollectors.org.

Hearthside Dinnerware, TV Show prize
Question:
In 1961 my father was a contestant on a TV game show and won a number of things including a complete dinnerware set from Red Wing. Neither my mother nor my father were familiar with the name. For all those years the dinnerware remained in my mother’s china cabinet, being used only once or twice a year, if that. It’s in perfect condition. The service is for 12, with every possible piece: dinner plate, salad plate, dessert place, soup place, cups, saucers, the tea pot, coffee pot, several casseroles, large salad bowl, many other unique serving pieces. Also included were five or six copper colored stands that warm with a candle. These were never used. Unfortunately, my parents have both passed and we are selling the family home. I have the dinnerware set now. The photo is of some of the pieces…all seem to be hand painted with an "Americana" theme. Most of the larger pieces are marked with "Red Wing USA". Some of the plates have numbering. For example, the larger dinner plate in the photo is marked with 341 and the smaller is marked 140. Can you tell me something about this dinnerware? Thank you, Mary Lohmann Grantham, NH
