Asian copy of Tampico coffee or tea pot
Question:
Did Red Wing make a small coffee pot (maybe it’s a teapot) in the Tampico pattern? The piece is unmarked, approx. 7" tall and 4-1/4" diameter across the bottom. It is wider at the bottom, then narrows at the "neck", then flares out again at the top. The handle is black and the knob on the top of the lid is black. Can’t find it in any of my books. Almost looks like a Futura pattern. If it’s not Red Wing Tampico, it’s a dead ringer. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Debby

Gift or Novelty Platter
Question:
I have four oval plates that I got from a lady that told me she got them for a wedding present over 50 years ago and has never used them. I cannot find them anywhere on the internet, including on redwingdinnerware.com. I was wondering if you could tell me anything about them. They are in excellent condition. They do have Red Wing USA on the back. I have attached a picture. Thank you Sheila

Red Wing vase, green textured glaze, shape 199
Question:
Hi, My parents had this vase for years. It is marked in a circle on the bottom – red wing art pottery -there are no numbers on the bottom. I have search the internet for hours trying to identify the glaze etc. it is 9 5/8" tall and the textured glaze looks like butterfly wings! the color is black with shadings of a pinkish or flesh colors. There is about a 3/8" wide ‘chip’ on the bottom edge that looks like it was done in the production-it is black and glazed over. Help!! Pat
Answer: Hi Pat
help is on the way—- It’s shape #199, one of my favorites, early artware, circa 1930. No one has a name for this glaze, kind of a crystalline look. there are a few out there, but quite uncommon. The chip will hurt it’s value. Try some acetone to see if someone has touched it up. Value around 300.00, depending on who wants it! thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing M1495 & Damask dinner plate
Question:
I’d like the value for a yellow oblong footed serving bowl marked Redwing USA M1495. I also have 12 yellow/cream colored dinner plates labled "Damask" by Red Wing with the number 315. What is the value of a single plate? I’d like to sell these items in the near future. I don’t have any pics to attach.
Answer: Hi, your bowl is actually artware, from the fifties. Value around 15.00. I will defer the dinnerware to our other "expert". thanks, steve n rose

Stoneware pitcher with spongeware
Question:
Hello. I purchased this milk jug at an estate,thinking it was an early Red Wing piece. After getting it home and paging through many books I could find nothing to compare it to. The spongeware is brown and green,the body is ribbed and the exterior advertising is raised and actually made from the same stoneware unlike the stamped advertising you usually see. The pitchers dimensions are 4.5" x 4"W x 6" from spout to end of handle. Any help given as to identification would be helpful.Kind regards-Jennifer
