Stoneware lid with green spot
Question:
Hi Al, I have a 2g lid that is in excellent condition. No chips or cracks and nice color. On the edge though, there is a tiny pit that is surrounded by the darkish green spot that is visible in the picture. I’ve tried cleaning it with paint thinner and scrubbing pads, but I believe this is under the glaze as nothing appears to be removing it. Can you tell me what might have caused this (possibly something in the manufacturing) and other possible ways to clean it. I heard of some people using a peroxide solution. Can you also give me an estimate on its value. Thanks, Chris
Lexington pattern
Question:
My 84 y/o Mother wants to downsize and was going to donate her set of china to the worn-a-bit sale at her Church. I noticed it’s the Red Wing Pottery 1941 Lexington pattern. It’s a full set for 8 with meat platter, serving bowls, salt and pepper shakers, sugar bowl wi cover, and gravy boat. If you could give me an estimate of it’s worth, maybe I can convince her not to "Give" it away. Thank you so much, Debbie Johnson
