Question:
HI, Any chance this art pottery bottle is red wing? I’m at my wits end trying to figure this out. It’s about 5" at the widest point by about 9" tall. There is a mark on the bottom of a shield with maybe a bird(?) in the center of it. I will submit a second photo of that mark. Thanks so much, Richie
Answer: Hi Richie
it’s not a Red Wing shape, send me a pic of the bottom. thanks, steve n rose

On the outside of the vase are are 4 leaves in relief that start at the top of the base and go up 6 inches. They are apx. 2 inches wide and look somewhat like a burr oak leaf. The vase also has ornate handles on the sides. Any idea information on this piece would be appreciated. Thanks, Tammi Poppe

I have some Bob White pieces that I would like to sell, I have to look through the box. approx 10 cups, 6 bowls, 2 oval platters, salt shaker, sugar bowl with top, divided relish dish? Any interest, let me know and I can provide complete list and pictures. No chips in any of the pieces. Belonged to family. Cindy
Answer: Bob White is the most common Red Wing pattern; so, the values are not as high as other Red Wing patterns.

I have a pair of grape cluster taper candle holders. They are cone colored with a chocolate brown glaze. They are in perfect condition. The bottom of the pieces say Redwing USA 622 do you know the approx age and value of these? thank you! Lorrie
Answer: Hi Lorrie
these are shapes from rumrill’s vintage group, but were made a little later, since they have the Red Wing mark. they date to around 1938/39. Value for the pair is around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
I just bought a piece of pottery at an antique store and it says Red Wing USA M1453 on the bottom. The antique store said it was a Banana Leaf tray made in 1954. It has a green top and yellow underside with raised leaf veins. It appears to have no flaws although I am suspicious of on area on the edge that might have been smoothed although looking at it you wouldn’t know unless you rubbed your finger over it. I paid 46.28 with tax and it goes very well with my decor but I am wondering if the price was accurate and if there are other pieces out there that I might look for. Thank-you Barb Gerlach
Answer: Hi Barb
some Red Wing has some minor flaws. the date is correct, from 1954, a design by Charles Murphy. The price seems to be about right. There are a couple other similiar shapes, M1445, and M1446, both bowls as well. I think the glaze color is woodland green. happy hunting, thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Our church has a 5 gallon Red Wing water cooler with what appears to be the original lid. The lid has a "chip" on the edge about the size of a quarter. There are no other cracks. Both handles are fine. A date has been painted on the front of it. We are in need of funds to build a new community building and would be interested in sell this water cooler. Could you give us an idea of how much it is worth? And the best way to "advertise" it for sale? Thanks Dorothy
