Pumpkin-shaped Teapot
Question:
I’ve had a fun little Red Wing teapot since 1980, purchased at a thrift store for about $5.00. It has a pumpkin shape, very mild crazing, no chips, in pale pink. The crazing is more apparent on the interior as it was stained by tea. Now I’m in the mode to downsize and since I haven’t used this in 10 plus years, it’s time to sell it. The question is, how much? Sorry, I don’t have a picture, but I’m just trying to get a general idea. Thank you! Carol

Beige Fleck plates
Question:
I have about 11 or 12 dinner plates that are the institutional speckle pattern. There is no design. Some are stamped on the bottom, and some are not. I bought them about 20 years ago at the Red Wing Pottery facility in Red Wing. They were sitting outside in a bargain corner. Are they worth anything? Do you know a collector who would want them? They are just sitting in a box. Thank you. Gretchen
