Question:
Hi, I have been the joke of the family for years about my Red Wing "splurge." I guess you could call me obsessed the day my Mother, Sister and I went to the Red Wing store in Red Wing, Mn. It was in the late 1960′s and I was newly married. I really got carried away. I couldn’t decide on a specific pattern, so I bought four separate patterns that sort of went together. I just looked at the Master Index and I’m sure of three. They are: HEARTHSTONE BEIGE—- HEARTHSTONE ORANGE—HEARTHSTONE and HEARTHSTONE BLEU. I have four placesettings of each with every single extra such as soup bowls, etc. I also have all the serving pieces inc. coffee pot, S & P shakers and lots more.
The joke part is that I never used them! They are all packed in boxes in my basement. I’m not even sure of all that I have. Now I am in the process of "scaling down/back." Years ago I saw like a piece here and there for sale, but never a whole set. I’ve made calls and I can’t seem to find the right place to show or sell them to/at.
I remember having another set that is all one color–sort of an orange. It is mainly a dessert set with again–many extra pieces such as ramekins, etc. It has been years since I’ve looked at them however, I am going to take them all out this next week to see exactly what all I have.
Red Wing Dinner Ware
Adobestone 3 place setting: Which each includes dinner plate salad/desert, bread and butter, cereal bowl
Greenwichstone 3 place settings
Hearthstone Beige 3 place settings
Hearthstone 4 place settings
Hearthsone Orange 2 place settings
Charstone Bleu 2 place settings
In addition in the pictures there are pictures of 2 platters, Picture, cream and sugar, salt and pepper and 2 small bowls.
Is this anything you would be interested in talking, writing, or looking at? I can guarantee every piece is in perfect condition.
I am located in Omaha, Nebraska so you can understand the price of mailing or shipping them would be a lot. Where are you?
Let me know if you ARE interested in knowing more info or giving me more info about "what I can do with them."
How much would this collection be able to be sold at? Anne
