Town & Country teapot,metallic brown
Question:
Dear Roschen Collectors,
Over 20 years ago I bought this tea pot at an antique shop in NW Tennessee. The hear beauty of the shape drew me to it. Every time I looked at it over the years it brought a ense of calm and smile to me. And it did not take me long to find its designer who I hold in high regard. Now it is time to find another person to enjoy it as much as we have. I ave looked far and wide to get an idea of its value and after about an hour found your onderful site and group. I now know the glaze color, the design line and that there is such a devoted group of collectors. Please tell me more like its age and value.
Thank You, Albert
Answer;
A metallic brown Town & Country teapot is worth $150 to $200 in excellent, undamaged
condition. Damage will reduce the value by 25 to 75% or more depending on the location and severity of the damage. The teapot in the photo appears to be in excellent condition assuming there are no hairlines, nicks or other flaws not visible in the photo.

Village Green cups without handles
Question:
Have a Village Green item with shape and dimensions of a Casual Shape
cup. Is this a documented item? If documented what is the official
nomenclature? Thanks.
Answer:
Terry Moe found some Village Green cups without handles in a shop several years ago. We have not found any documentation for them. After much speculation we decided
they might be custard cups. We have no doubt they were made by Red Wing but are
not sure why. These cups may have been a special order by a customer, or may
have been a test run that was not well received by the public. They may also
have been among the Novelty and Gift items that were decorated with Village
Green colors but were not officially listed as Village Green items.

Red Wing 8 gallon birch leaf churn
Question:
What can you tell me about this churn and its value.
Thanks Joanne
Answer:
Joanne, nice looking Red Wing 8 gallon birch leaf churn. I can see a large chip on the base. If this is the only damage, your churn would have a value between $900 & $1000. Any other damage such as a hairline or crack and the value will drop by quite a
bit. Still a nice looking Red Wing churn. Al Kohlman

Red Wing Brushed Ware Vase, dumpster find
Question:
Dear Experts,
I found this item in our local dump and hope to sell it to a discerning collector who
appreciates it. What can you tell me about its production and current value?
Catalog listing? It is 7 1/2″ high, 5″ wide and quite hefty. The base is slightly rounded. Note the RWU mark is round, not oval. I have been unable to ascertain much about it except that I believe its Brushware from the late 1920s. There is simply no better vase for golden, dried flowers or grain than this one, bar none, because it can support the weight. Please also let me know if you think of someone who would be interested in purchasing it from me for a fair price. Thank you for your time.
Steve
Answer:
this is a brushware vase, made by RedWing, circa 1930. It looks to be painted,
but that can be removed. Value is around 70.00 or so. interesting find…
thanks, steve n rose
Red Wing candle sticks 1286 and Normandy Dinnerware
Question:
My grandma recently passed away and I got this pottery. Just wondering if you can tell
me about it.
Thanks for the info. I can’t tell if its a 2 or a 9 so I took a picture. The only info I have is
my grandma got this before she was married so I assume its pretty old.
Answer:
The dinnerware pattern you have is called Normandy. This pattern is part of the Provincial dinnerware line of the 1940s. Here is an article about the line and pattern from our website:
http://www.redwingcollectors.org/red-wing-products/dinnerware-by-red-wing/provinical-line
The covered sugar bowl and the salt & pepper shakers are worth $20-25. I can’t tell from the photo if the smaller piece is a small bowl or small plate, but either way the
value is $7.50 to $10. All values assume excellent condition. Larry Roschen
The candlesticks are art pottery, value is around 35.00 for the pair. thanks,
