3 gallon small wing Red Wing Potteries crock
Question:
The picture shows a 3 Gallon crock with no handles that my Mother used to pickle cucumbers as long as I can remember. It was packed with cucumbers in a brine with dill twigs and stored in a root cellar to process during our cold Montana winters. In the late spring we had great dill pickels from the previous year. The crock has no chips on the bottom or the top rim. I know for sure that she had it in August of 1945 when we moved from Seattle to Billings as I helped load the first crop of cucumbers in it, I was 7 years old at the time. James

Redwing USA 1479
Question:
I have a medium size vaze with the spiky metal flower holder inside. (not sure what that’s called!) It is oval shaped, aprox. 10" long by 5" wide, 3 1/4 " deep. It’s in very good condition, no chips or wear. The glaze is a charcoal black. On the bottom is stamped: Redwing USA 1479 I was given this piece as a gift and am curious about it’s time period and it’s value. Thank you! Lisa
Answer: Hi Lisa
I would call this a planter, but there are some candleholders that match it, so it could be a console bowl, as well. It dates to around 1955. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Red Wing Art Pottery 198

This is a pottery bowl w handles and green glaze it’s in very good condition no cracks or chips just some discoloring on bottom and it is marked in blue ink Red Wing Art Pottery 198. Was wanting to know about the value and a little history because the marking are diff than the red wing i see when I’ve tried to research this piece .Send email I’ll send pics !! April
Answer: Hi April
your bowl dates to around 1930, it is the earlier timeframe for red wing artware. If it’s a matt mottled green green glaze, it would be Nokomis, value around 200.00 or so. If it’s a shiney gloss green, value around 100.00 or so. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
