Question:
I have nearly a whole set of Pompeii, with many serving pieces and most are in excellent shape. I have no children and I know a dumpster awaits anything I don’t dispose of. How do I get in touch with someone who may have an interest in these pieces? I see the society is gathering in Des Moines this weekend. Is there anyone I can contact there? I have just unpacked all pieces so have a list if someone is interested. Thank you. Betty
Larry, sorry I did not read this one through. I though she might have been asking for value too. I agre with you on your response below. I will contact her directly today.
I purchased this pot at goodwill, and I found a description online, and I am wondering if you can send me some more information about the history of the piece. Also is it safe to use for cooking- not that I plan to but would just like to know. Large Red Wing Pot with Handle and Spout. Large kitchenware pot with orange glaze on the interior of pot and a wonderfully earthy color tone on the exterior of the deep pot. Features two handles for lifting. The mark on the bottom of the deep pot is Red Wing U.S.A. 137. There is a 0.25" chip on the spout. There are several dirt spots where the exterior has been rubbed and the bottom has normal scratches from wear. Light scratches on the bottom of deep pot from normal use. Please see photographs for further details. I found a pick on goodwill.com and attached it Thanks in advance Benita
General information, identification of the piece, the time period it was produced, the rarity/desirability of the item and a range of possible value. Piece is 20" tall, 19" across, what I would consider in excellent condition with no visible nicks or damage with a clear glaze. According to the history of labels appears to be between 1909 and 1915 time period. This inside does not show any signs of use. I read an article regarding the collector show Feb 11th which prompted me to request more info. Jeffery
I have a 25 gal Red Wing crock with a 6" wing on it. It has a small chip out on one edge but other than that it is in very good condition Elaine
