Red Wing 261 teapot, Gypsy Trail line
Question:
Hello, I acquired a piece of pottery that has stamped on the bottom "Red Wing USA 261". It is a tea pot. I think stoneware with grape embellishments that go around the top out part of the pot. It is tan in color and the grapes are antiqued with a darker color in the crevases. The lid is the same color but the knob looks like it’s a small grape in two leafs. I have attached a couple pictures. Thank you so much. Stephanie

Red Wing 909 pitcher
Question:
I recently purchased this little pitcher at an estate sale. The bottom say Red Wing 909. It is only 4"H x 5"L x 4"W. It does have some crazing but it is a nice piece. I am assuming it is a cream pitcher. How old is it and does it have any value? Thanks, Jim
Answer: Hi Jim
this dates to around 1939. It’s actually part of the art pottery line, not dinnerware. Value is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
