Red Wing 526
Question:
I have a Red Wing piece marked USA 526 and I am uncertain as to exactly what it is. It looks like either a platter or a shallow bowl. It is cream colored and has a scrolly/leaf pattern on it. Any ideas as to value? No chips. Val
Answer: Hi Val
You have a console bowl. It came with a flower frog in the shape of a deer, one of the most popular shapes Red Wing ever made. It was in production for over 10 years, and came in many colors. Value for the bowl alone is around 20.00. Thanks, steve n rose
Red Wing M 1490, Charles Murphy Designer
Question:
Hello, I have a bizarre piece of Red Wing pottery marked M 1490 it looks like some kind of bowl with what looks like shark teeth points that come up. Is this designed by Charles Murphy and do you have any idea of the value. I can provide pictures if you would like to see them. Christopher
Answer: Hi Christopher
Your bowl is designed by Charles Murphy, from around 1955. There are a few other shapes with the same pointy edges. Most will have a chipped off "point", they are pretty delicate. Value is around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
