Question:
My fall trip this year included a trip to the Pottery Place (again), the gift store with the potters, & my first visit to the museum…what a treasure all that was to see! Between that & the antique stores there, I’ve never seen so many Red Wing things in one place EVER!!! …..Oh to be independantly wealthy!
Can’t wait to see the new location…any idea when it will be open?
Attached is my newest RW addition. Whatever you can tell me about it would be delightful. Any idea on age?
I look forward to hearing from you, & thanks again for your gracious time & help :)
Warm Regards, Connie
Answer:
Connie, your Red Wing water cooler is the earliest of the water coolers. Sometime between 1917 & 1920 or so. It has the correct lid, but someone drilled a hole in the button which really hurts it’s value. The size of this water cooler will be stenciled inside bottom of this cooler. If the cooler is perfect it has a value around $500. The lid,, maybe $150. If there was no hole. $500 to $700. Al Kohlman

Question:
Hi. I have a question regarding the Anniversary Line of dinnerware, specifically Country Garden. I’m not sure who else to ask this question of, and you are the only contact name I have that might be able to direct me.
My question is: There are several different bowls: Cereal, Rim Soup, Sauce, Nappy and Buffet. The Red Wing Dinnerware price and identification guide doesn’t indicate the size of each bowl. If I see a bowl, how do I know which one I’m looking at? Is there a size guide?
Answer:
I am not aware of any reference guide or book that includes bowl sizes for Red Wing dinnerware patterns. That’s useful information, and over the years I’ve developed my
own list.
There were seven different bowls made for the Anniversary patterns. Here are the approximate diameters of those bowls:
Salad bowls (textured colored sides with no artwork)
Large: 10.5″
Individual: 5.5″
Decorated bowls:
Buffet:11″
Nappy: 9.5″
Rim Soup: 8″
Cereal: 6.75″
Sauce: 5.5″
Another clue to help differentiate the bowls is the hand painted design inside the
bowl. Larger bowls have more surface area and thus room for more art. For example, the Country Garden buffet bowl includes more leaves and flowers than the smaller bowls. Larry
Question:
Good afternoon! My mother loves the Red Wing cookie jars and is missing only the Friar. I came upon a Friar at a local antiques market, but want to be sure that it’s real before purchasing it. Here is a photo of the stamp:
The stamp looks to be a deep green color, which concerns me, but the lady at the shop said that Red Wing used black, blue, and green ink for its markings.
Any assistance that you could give me would be much appreciated! My mom’s birthday is coming up and this fella would be
terrific… if he’s the real deal.
Hope you’re having a lovely weekend,
Katie
Answer:
I can’t be absolutely certain without a hands-on inspection, but I see no reason to suspect this cookie jar is a fake or reproduction. The two Red Wing marks look to be
authentic. These cookie jars have been reproduced but the ones I’ve seen are
clearly marked and are smaller in size than the originals. Yellow is a common color for the friar jar and the common colors are relatively inexpensive. I would look more suspiciously at a jar in a rare or unusual color.

Question: 
The bowl I have looks like the Colonnes but has 2 columns. Red Wing hand painted on the bottom and the number 317 and USA with only the A being all there.
Thank you.
Mary
Answer:
Five different sized bowls were made for the Colonnes dinnerware pattern. The number of columns depicted depends on the size of the bowl. The 5.5 inch sauce dish and the 6.5 inch cereal bowl had only one column. The 7.5 inch rim soup bowl had two columns. The 9 inch nappy (vegetable bowl) and 12 inch salad bowl each had three columns. The larger the bowl, the greater the surface area available for artwork.
The number 317 on the bottom of the bowl is a stock or lot number. It does not identify
the pattern or the item.
