Red Wing “Happy” Cookie Jar

Question:
My husband inherited what we think to be a Red Wing cookie jar. We’ve seen a similar one on ebay, and it states it was a premium for the Pillsbury Co. Because we were born in MN, it has special meaning for us. It is in the shape of the Round Up and Bob White style, having 2 ‘handles’. It is a mauve/pink color. On it is the embossed phrase, "Happy the children wherever they are who live in a house with a full cookie jar." It has a shiny glaze with small brownish flecks in it. No apparent markings are on the bottom, but there are 3 small round marks, evenly spaced on the bottom (perhaps where it was set during the process?) The embossed vines are not colored, the piece is all the same mauve/pinkish color. Unfortunately, one of our kids broke the lid when he was stationed in Korea for a year. I hot-glued it, and over the course of several more moves, it’s falling apart. I have searched for a replacement lid to no avail. Any hints on where to find one, as well as confirmation that this is a Red Wing piece would be great. We’re not concerned about value, since it was his grandmother’s, it’s priceless. I’d love to surprise him with a new lid, since he has such wonderful memories of his grandmother using this special jar! I apologize for not attaching a picture, as our camera has broken (not the kids this time :) Thanks for any help, Kris Trombley (a military wife)

Thank you Larry

Question:
Thanks Larry for your info concerning the nut tray and deviled egg tray that I submitted questions about. I have now recently joined the collector club and also did drive to Red Wing to do a bit of further investigation on these two pieces at the Antique shop in the mall. I find all of this history to be quite fascinating. Thank you for your time and efforts to keep us collectors educated! Also, i am looking to eventually purchase additional pieces when I can locate them. I didn’t find a lot at the mall. They did have a fair amount of the Bob White pattern, but not the plain with out the Bob Whites on them. I look forward to looking and locating these pieces in the future! Theresa Speltz

Coookie Jar, New Red Wing Stoneware

Question:
Hello – I bought this jar, I guess it’s called, at a consignment store a few years ago. It doesn’t look like any other red wing pottery on this site, so maybe it isn’t? It is about 14" from bottom to top of lid and 13" from handle to handle. It says Redwing Pottery Co Redwing MN on the bottom stamp. It is in mint condition. I know nothing about Redwing, I just love the jar! I would appreciate anything you can tell me about it. Thank you!
