Hi. I am thinking of purchasing a Red Wing planter that is for sale, but wanted to get some idea of it’s value first. It is a half moon shaped planter (green) that looks like bamboo. It is straight sided, and is flat on the back. It is in great condition other than some hard water deposits around the inside just below the rim. It is aprox. 12" long. It is marked Red Wing USA #407 on the bottom. Sorry, don’t have a picture to submit at this time. Could you tell me something about it, and it’s aproximate value? Thanks, Gretchen

Answer: Hi Gretchen

It is a planter, designed around 1952. There is also a vase that matches it, shape #400. Value on the planter is around 35.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

20 gallon medium wing crock with bail handels and lid

Question:
I have a 20 gallon Red Wing crock with matching lid. The red wing is 4-1/8" wide. The Red Wing Potteries, Inc. oval is 1-3/4" wide. However, I cannot find the 1915 patent stamp. Can you tell me exactly where to look, or if Red Wing discontinued the 1915 patent stamp at some point. If so, this may help in identifying the age of this crock. – As near as I’ve been able to determine, this crock was made in 1936 or later, and is a Bristol (zinc) glazed piece. I feel the value of the crock and lid is about $500.00. Please see photos. Any expert information will be much appreciated. Dwight

Fondoso dinnerware line pitcher

Question:
The pitcher shown in the attached photo was given to me by my mother. Can you tell me anything about the time it was manufactured? It is in pretty good condition but with a small chip in the glazing on each side at the widest point in its curve. I saw a similar pitcher on ebay listed for $125 (no bids). What do you think of that value? Many thanks! Theresa

Answer: Hi Theresa

this is actually part of the Fondoso dinnerware line. It dates to around 1939. The book value is around 50.00 or so. Hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose

3 gallon Red Wing Crock

Question:
Hallo, I own a 3 gallon RED Wing Crock and a 3 gallon Western stoneware crock.They have the red wing motive and the blue maple leaf and company information. They also both have a slightly domed lid with flatened round grip. Looking at so many crocks advertised, also here on your wonderful program, I see most of the crocks without lids, at least the ones wich look close to the ones I have in my posession. Should my crocks be without lids? Thank you for attention. These lids are of exactly the same color as the crocks and everything is in great condition. Wilhelmina
