Question:
Sometimes, when looking for Red Wing Reed plates, I see a plate with the apparent same pattern and colors but the plate seems to flair downward as it radiates out, like a petal. I have attached a photo – but this is difficult to see in a picture. Nevertheless, the plates are obviously made from a different mold. Were the Reed pattern molds changed at some point? Thank you Vonda

My mother has left this collection of dishes to my sister and me and we were wondering the value. It is a 12 piece setting(lg,med,sm plates,cups,bowls)with 12 luncheon plates also. 6 of the small bowls are discolored. From your site I identified the pattern as Lotus Concord.

Question:
Hi, again. I emailed a question about an hour ago regarding my dinnerware. After reading previously answered questions, I see that my questions had been anwered already regarding the value of my dinnerware which are apparently ALL round-up (dinner plates have picture of chuck wagon and all other peices have some one cooking or sitting on a fence.) I was curious about the difference in the stamps in this series. I had only one with an actual depiction of red wings along with the words Red Wing while the others were all stamped without the wings – only words. This has been a very informative site and I have enjoyed seeing the wide variety of Red Wing collections. I love the little hostess tea pots. I can see why there is so much excitement in the collecting there of. Thanks for the service you provide. ~Becky

Question:
Larry Thanks for the advise on the iris that is painted. It is a stoneware like the ones on page 93 of your 1983 book. I did take a razor blade and lightly scrape after a paint "expert" told me it was enamel base paint. After I got some of it off it was more of a deep brown or similar to the ones in the book. I will try to remove all of the paint and hope no damage is caused. The inside was also painted so will have to take some time. I think the person who painted it was into ceramics as the paint was smooth but not very stable. thanks again. Joe

I found a small picther at a consignment store. It is 7 in high, and a bit over 3in wide. It is cream colored with brown and bone colored rings. The design in the center around is orange and brown "tulip like". I have identified the handle like some other red wings on line, but not the pattern. On the bottom is red wing- usa. This piece looks new. Can you tell me the name, date and ? the value. Thanx, judy

Question:
I was at an estate sale and purchased a Iris pitcher(large size). It looks like who ever had it painted it white as the paint is chipping and it is green under it. What colors did they come in? How would I beable to get the paint off without harming the original finish. I am assuming it is glazed under the paint. Thanks Joe
