A brown ceramic pan which is 3 1/2" h and 8 1/2" across sits on top and has a ceramic handle. The pan and stand have a ribbed pattern around them and the pan is blue inside. The cover is missing. Both pieces are marked red wing usa in raised letters on the bottom. I cannot find any info on this set. Could you help with a pattern name and value? Thanks, Rick

Red Wing 3018, M3007 and M 3014

Question:
Hello! I recently picked these 3 vases up at an estate sale. The first on is #3018 and it is 22.25" tall and 5.5" wide at the base. The second on is #m-3014 and it is 12.25" tall and 12" at its widest point. The third vase is #m-3007 and it is 12.25" tall and 7" wide. I know that the 2 that start with M are Murphy vases but is the other one? The style looks similar to the middle one. Also how would you describe the styles and glazes? Thank you so much for your time. Reid

Answer: Hi Reid

these are decorator line items, from 1959. they are a crystalline glaze, the first two I think are burnt orange. All of these are attributed to Murphy. A nice group, value could be around 1000.00 for the set. thanks, steve n rose

Pink Spice 77 piece set

Question:
Hello, I submitted a question about my dinner set and was told I needed an inventory of them to get a better estimate. I have the Pink Spice Dinner Set, in the color pink. 77 total pieces when counting lids. 6 lrg dinner plates 5 salad plates, 1 sm plate, 9 pink curved sm bowls. 1 lrg serving bowl and 1 large serving bowl with a lid. 5 serving plates of various shapes. One is elevated at one end. I am wondering what that was used to serve. 10 teacups and 10 saucers, 1 teapot, 2 creamers and 2 sugar bowls with lids. 1 set of salt and pepper shakers, and 1 dish that appears to me to be a gravy server. It is in excellent condition. A few very small chips on some of the curved bowl plate dishes. I do not know what they are called either. This is what I loved about this set is the various shapes it has and the colors with the little yellow butterfly. I would like to know an estimated value and how do I go about selling it? I would also like to know what the serving dishes were called and used to serve. Thank you. Julie
