Jack Frost Cookie Jar

Question:
Hi, I am interested in finding out the approximate value of this Jack Frost Cookie Jar. There is a hairline crack around his neck where it appears he had his head very carefully glued back on. No attempt was made to touch up the jar. There is a flea bite chip on the rim of the lid, Right under Jack’s foot as shown on the photo, And a very small chip on the tip of Jacks right ear. The base of the jar is elongated. The height of the jar is 12 inches from the top of the cap. Thank You, Bonnie

Bob White collection

Question:
My niece has a red wing dinnerware set, (approximately 50 pieces) including two salt/pepper sets, a coffee pot, and some serving dishes. I do not have a picture, but the pattern has two birds, brown and blue, and some other accent decoration. The birds look like chicks or maybe baby grouse or some other wild bird. We would like to know the age and the pattern and a broad estimate of value, as she is thinking of leaving the set in a rental cabin, but not if it is of great value. I realize this is not much information, but would appreciate any help you could give. Thank you. Katherine Boivin

Provincial Cookware Caserole, side marked

Question:
I have recently purchased a set of Red Wing Provincial Ware. There is a covered casserole, marked 19 on the side, and six covered marmites (?) marked 22 on the sides. They are unglazed on the outside, but do have glaze on the inside and covers. When I first saw them I thought they would be great for making baked french onion soup in the oven, but I suspect they are 1940s vintage and wonder if I should because of value or safety. Any help you could offer regarding value, care and use in this mannor would be appreciated. Thank you. Patrick
