Round Up Follow up on markings
Question:
Hi, again. I emailed a question about an hour ago regarding my dinnerware. After reading previously answered questions, I see that my questions had been anwered already regarding the value of my dinnerware which are apparently ALL round-up (dinner plates have picture of chuck wagon and all other peices have some one cooking or sitting on a fence.) I was curious about the difference in the stamps in this series. I had only one with an actual depiction of red wings along with the words Red Wing while the others were all stamped without the wings – only words. This has been a very informative site and I have enjoyed seeing the wide variety of Red Wing collections. I love the little hostess tea pots. I can see why there is so much excitement in the collecting there of. Thanks for the service you provide. ~Becky

Round Up Collection
Question:
About 15 years ago, my aunt gave me a set of dinnerware which we have been casually using since then. Today, I just happened to be curious about them and discovered they are Red Wing Round Up. I have 7 11" Round up dinner plates (1 with small chip) numbered 121; all the rest are chuck wagon: 4 8" salad plates numbered 139; 1 6 1/2" saucer #32; one cup no #; 1 6 1/2" Bread plate(?) with a red-winged stamped #33L (I think)it also is thinner than the others with more brown specks; 4 6 1/2" Bread plate(?) #211; 3 small bowls #131; 2 tall salt & pepper shakers; a large platter; relish tray and a small one handle caserole with a little lip/spout & lid; a two handled small casserole with lid. (unfortunately, one handle is broken).I also have a tall lid 3 3/4" tall X 3" wide but not sure what it went to. Except where mentioned, there are no chips or cracks. With that discription, any idea of worth? I can send pictures if you are interested.
See the above question she found her answers, but the next question wants to know about the markings. I thought you would want to see that she did search.
6 gallon large wing with wing and lid
Question:
I have a Redwing Crock that has the number 6 stamped on it with a 4” wing. It also has the Patented stamp on the side dated Dec 21, 1915. This piece has the original lid for it with the 5 and 6 stamped on the top, also has the original handles for the crock. There are no cracks or chips on it. This piece is in excellent shape and condition. I was wondering how much you thought that this would be worth. I have enclosed a picture to show you the shape and structure that it is in. Thank you Billi Jo

Paint Clean up feedback
Question:
Larry Thanks for the advise on the iris that is painted. It is a stoneware like the ones on page 93 of your 1983 book. I did take a razor blade and lightly scrape after a paint "expert" told me it was enamel base paint. After I got some of it off it was more of a deep brown or similar to the ones in the book. I will try to remove all of the paint and hope no damage is caused. The inside was also painted so will have to take some time. I think the person who painted it was into ceramics as the paint was smooth but not very stable. thanks again. Joe

It is pink with the tiny speckles and some of the parts, ie, the hat are painted blue. Is my information correct that it is the rarest color? Thank You Mary
