Brittany dinnerware serving pieces

Question:
When my husband’s grandfather passed away we were given a set of pottery. Pictures are attached and the bottom stamp is quite faded, but says "Red Wing Pottery" and "Hand Painted." The teapot is 6-1/2 to 7" tall and the S&P shakers are just over 2". The attached picture shows all the pieces I have. Do you know the history or age of this group of items and what they might be worth? Thanks Terri

Smart Set items

Question:
Just wondering what I can sell the 19" oval PLATTER with burner stand in "Smart Set" for? Excellent condition. Also, the 23-3/4" BREAD TRAY with one tiny chip on the edge? And the 4 qt. casserole with black lid with a tiny chip on the finial? Otherwise, all pieces are in excellent condition with no crazing or cuts and very little usage. I have the lovely LARGE PITCHER (112 oz) with a medium chip on the handle (doesn’t show when displayed facing left) and tiny chip on the top edge. Don’t know if I can add more photos, but will send it of the pitcher if requested. All "SMART SET" pieces. Thanks! ACE

REd WIng B 1392, Belle Kogan designer

Question:
I have a base with a Red Wing Art Pottery label. Please let me know if the vase is more valuable with the sticker or without the sticker? The label is gold & red and at the bottom of vase you are able to read RED WING U.S.A. B1392. I will appreciate the approximate value. The outside color of the base is like a soft mauve color & the inside is like an off white color. Thanks Maria

Answer: Hi Maria

Your vase is from around 1951, I think the sticker adds a little to it, but they are fairly common. Value on this vase is around 30.00. thanks, steve n rose
