Question:
I have come across this tea set. The teapot looks to be in great shape. It has a music box on the bottom. The teapot is the only thing with a sticker, it says Orleans Worldwide Japan. It’s approx. 7 3/4" tall. I also have the sugar and creamer with lid and six cups with five saucers. These all have "made in Japan" on them. I was wanting a little information on this and its approximate value. Thanks for your help.

Tiny Lunch Hour Donkey

Question:
What is the value of the tiny lunch hour donkey. It is pictured in clay giants. I bought it long ago at the red wing convention auction. I may be selling it and have no idea of its value now a days=) thanks! Kate

Answer: Hi Kate

lunch hour pieces are prized by collectors, if it is Red Wing, documentation or proof of it being Red Wing are most important. Size and detail of pieces are also important when guesstimating a value. thanks, steve n rose

Stoneware: I have never seen one of these sell, so I can’t speculate on the value. You might consider putting it in the Red Wing collectors’ auction and see what it brings. Jeff

Red Wing 1153

Question:
I bought a green vase marked Red Wing 1153, it is in excellent condition with green leaves going all the way around it. I paid $55.00 and plan on keeping it. Good price or not? Also he had a vase that was "brushed" Red Wing with a crane motif. Priced for $95, good price or not? April

Answer: Hi April, I think those prices are fair. If you like them, all the better! The 1153 is from around 1942. The "Brushed" ware pieces are much earlier, late 20′s, early 30′s. Make sure there is a Red Wing blue ink stamp on the bottom, other companies made similar items. thanks, steve n rose
