Question:
I have 3 chef cookie jars. A blue one and beige with the red wing stamp and a yellow one with the stamp and numbers. I read that there is a green one also. What would the collection go for if you had all four. I love them all. I grew up with the blue one as our cookie jar. All are in execellent condition. Thank you, Bonnie
Answer: A chef cookie jar in excellent condition would be worth around $75 to $100 in the yellow or tan colors, with another $25 or so for blue. A green Chef Pierre cookie jar is worth $250-300. There are also rare fleck pink and fleck blue Chef jars made briefly in the mid-1950s. I’ve also seen white Chef jars but have not found documentation in company brochures.

I have four oval plates that I got from a lady that told me she got them for a wedding present over 50 years ago and has never used them. I cannot find them anywhere on the internet, including on redwingdinnerware.com. I was wondering if you could tell me anything about them. They are in excellent condition. They do have Red Wing USA on the back. I have attached a picture. Thank you Sheila
I would love some information on my cookie jar.It is 8 1/2" tall and aproximately 8" across at the widest part, near the top. The flowers on the front are pink and tannish-yellow. There is a soft green scallop around the top of the jar and the handle of the lid is green.
Hi, I have a set of Red Wing dishes that my grandma collected, as a giveaway, from the local grocery store back in the late ’40s. As far as I can tell, it’s never been used. My uncle says that Grandma just kept the dishes in the cupboard, and that was that. There are 8 dinner plates, saucers, cups, flat plates, and small bowls. There’s an oval serving platter, a dessert bowl, a relish tray, a sugar bowl with lid, a gravy boat, a cream pitcher and salt and pepper shakers. Everything looks perfect, except for a small nick at the tip of the creamer (?) dish spout (see pic). It seems like it’s just a bit of the glaze, not the actual pottery that’s nicked. Anyway, as I’ll never use them either, And my boy is getting near college age, I figured I’d sell the set. Any little bit helps… So I figured I’d ask the experts, and see what this might be worth, And if it should be sold as a set, or by the piece. I appreciate any info you could provide me. Thanks, Wayne VanBrocklin
