Lexington Rose: serving bowl, serving plate and 7 1/4 plate

Question:
Hi, I have more pieces from the collection that was donated to the thrift store in Saginaw, MI. This pattern is a square plate & one of the pieces had an imprinted stamp with a date on it. It was hard to make out the date but I think the year was 1947. There is 1 square serving plate, 1 serving bowl and 9 plates (7 1/4"). All looked to be in good condition & free of chips or cracks.

RedWing Stoneware, bottom marked, crock

Question:
Hi, I recently bought a crock at an auction. It’s hard to read, but on the bottom I believe it says Red Wing Stoneware (I can faintly see the W in ware, but not really the a-r-e). The letters are about 1/2" in size, and not very uniform. The crock is about 6" high, and 9.5" across the top. It is glazed (not very evenly). There are a couple of hairline cracks on the bottom of the inside about 3" long each. The rest of the crock is in nice shape. Again it’s hard to read but I believe that’s what is says (or what I want it to say LOL), and I do not see any other markings. Sorry if the picture isn’t the best, my camera isn’t very good. Any info. you can give me is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lori Sander

Provinical Ware # 22

Question:
My husband and I have been living in my family home (built 1939) since my mother died, and my husband died in June after a very short illness. My son and I just found in our basement: 11 small, what appear to be individual casserole/ soup tureens, natural pottery on outside and brown glaze on insides, with lids. They are stamped on the sides: "Red Wing Provincial Ware 22". Can you please help us evaluate these pieces? I do not know how to send you a photo other than by regular mail. Thank you

4 gallon salt glaze crock

Question:
Bought this old crock at an estate sale this weekend. I have no idea of the age, maker, or value. It’s a 4 gallon, cobolt markings on the handles, and a simple pattern, in cobolt, below the 4. No makers marks. It’s definately salt glazed and you can tell that either it was not properly glazed or the salt has eaten through (?). Can you tell me the maker, age and if it has any value. Inside is slipped with a dark, lustery (sparkly) brown, almost black. Has a distinct band around outside of crock, and the inside is not smooth, rather it’s ribbed from top to bottom. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Heidi

Salt Glaze vase with blue decoration

Question:
Hi. These may or may not be Redwing items. If not, please direct me to someone that can help identify them, if possible. More photos here: http://s256.photobucket.com/albums/hh161/NewWestCollectibles/2%20Pots/ Purchased these 2 pots at an estate sale in Los angelels area this week. Both pots have the same mark on bottom. They are of a grayish-brown finish, with sort of navy blue accents. Larger one is 18" tall by 7" diameter across the top and is in the shape of a butter churn (or umbrella stand). Circled by 3 odd smiling fish designs with very tall, stylized dorsal fins. 5 blue stripes circle at bottom, 4 more at top, 2 of which have a white stripe in between them. Smaller pot approx. 11" tall, Approx. 4" diameter across bottom, spreading out to approx 8" in a bulge shape about 2/3 of the way up. 2 blue stripes circle near bottom with a row of tear drop shapes directly above them. 2 more blue stripes circle the bulging portion. Diameter at mouth is only 2 & 3/4". Mark on bottoms is identical, appears to have been done with a tool while clay was still wet. Appears to be Chinese or Japanese (see photos). Does anyone know maker, region of origin and approx. age of these ? Any help in identifying these would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Kind regards, ~ Tim Robbins

Answer: Hi Tim

they appear to be contemporary Oriental art, but other than that, I can’t be of much help. thanks, steve n rose
