Delta Blue 66 piece pattern set

Question:
Hello, My Mom has at least 66 pieces of the "Delta Blue" Red wing. She has cake plate, platters, large water/tea jug that appears to have set in some type of stand so it can be tipped over to pour, pitchers, sugar, creamer, cups, etc. We are wondering the value of what she has. All of it is in perfect condition, no chip or cracks. I have some pictures of it in the hutch and will take more pictures tomorrow out of the hutch. Thanks for you help. Susan

Answer: A large collection of Delta Blue in near mint condition would be very valuable. A thorough inventory list would be very helpful to provide an accurate estimate for your pieces. Please email it to director@redwingcollectors.org.
