Question:
Hello – I bought this lamp at an estate auction. It is not marked. Is it a Van Briggle? Becca
Answer: Hi Becca
Oh, yes, it is Van Briggle. We call her the daughter of the flame. Did it come with a butterfly shade? Think this is the first Van Briggle question we have had. It’s hard to tell how old it is, without a pic of the bottom. Still a nice lamp, value is around 300.00 ro so. thanks, steve n rose (oh, look on the back of the base, there will probably be the AA van briggle mark there.)
I have a 2 gallon salt glazed crock,was told it is North Star It measures 9 1/8" tall 9 1/2" across top9 3/8" across bottom. Albany slip glazed inside ridges all the way up inside from hand thrown and a swirl finish not smooth on bottom inside like hand done not like my Red Wing salt glazed,which are smoother on bottom. Thanks Dana
I have three Red Wing pieces – a serving dish 14 1/2" wide, 9" across, with marking Red Wing B2110; candle holders 5" square, Red Wing B2111. Interior is high yellow gloss; exterior has green ribbing. I would appreciate knowing the value of these pieces. Thank you, Wilma
Can you tell me if this is called a cookie jar, I have seen it listed as a bean pot. Also how can I tell if it is an older piece or new piece. It is about 8" tall and 8" wide at the top and on the bottom it says: red wing usa in letters about 1/4 inch tall. Also what would be the appox. price. Thanks for any help you can give me. Adrienne
I’ve attached pictures of two crocks, a six gallon and two gallon – both in what appears to be an Albany slip glaze with similar markings. The numbers on the side appear to be brushed on or wiped on with a finger. The dimensions are as follows: Six gallon – 14” tall, 1 ¼” rim. At the rim – 12 ½” outside dia, 11” inside dia. Slight taper just below the rim. Purchased in Dyersville, Iowa Two gallon -10” tall, 10” outside dia, 1 1/4” rim. Purchased in Galena, Illinois I only show the bottom of the six gallon, the two gallon is similar. There are no markings other than the “6” and the “2”. Any assistance you could provide to narrow down the possible manufacturers or a time frame would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, Nanci
