Village Green salad bowl
Question:
Would like to know the name & possible value of this Red Wing bowl. From anything close I could find, it might be of the Village Green line? No cracks, chips or crazing. Only slight darkening of green in bottom of bowl and a few glaze pops on bottom. Otherwise in excellent condition. Size is 6 inch diameter, 2.5 inch height, with raised Red Wing U.S.A. on bottom. Thank You for your help! Cathy Weller

Stoneware crocks
Question:
I have a dozen Redwing crock jars with metal lids. Most of them are in excellent condition–no cracks or nicks. They were in my parents basement in Nebraska–so well preserved. Some of them are quart and some are 1/2 gallon(or gal., I’m not sure). Some have the date 1899 on the bottom and say Redwing in blue letters. My question is –what are they worth? Ruby

Follow up on the 1965 All Star Home Plate
Question:
Hello, I originally asked about imformation about a 1965 MN Twin American League Championship Home Plate commemorative. The reply was helpful. However, the expert mentioned a book value, what is this book they speak of. Are there records of this run of plate? How is it exactly catigorized? (so I can affectively describe it to others) I really want as much imformation about this as I can get. I’ve been Googleing it and finding almost nothing. Even the Twins promotion office is of no help tracking past promos or pointing me in the right direction. I’m sorry if I’ve pressed this item so far, I’m just very excited about this piece, it represents a great deal to me. Thanks Ken
ANSWER: It’s listed in the Red Wing Collectibles book, more of a stoneware book, but it’s in that one. It is seen every so often, a nice item, but I wouldn’t go so far as to use the "rare" word on it. Hope this helps a little more. thanks, steve n rose
Red Wing 1202 vase
Question:
I obtained this vase and I wanted to know more about this piece. I understand 3 sizes were made and various colors as well. This vase is cream white on the outside and green on the inside. From others I’ve read about I’m guessing around 1943? The bottom reads Red Wing USA 1202. This vase has a chip on top edge. The original owner insists that it happened during delivery years ago. Thanks for your passion and time!
ANSWER: HI
It was designed in 1943, part of the art pottery line. There are actually 6 shapes with this particular design. 4 vases and two shorter bowl types. With the chip, value is around 25.00 or so. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
