Country Garden dinner plate

Question:
I’m interested in the value of this hand-painted Red Wing plate from my parents’ home in Winona, MN. It was likely purchased in the early 1950s. The plate is round with a diameter of 10 7/8”. It has a floral design of blue, rose, green, purple, yellow, and light gray on an off-white background. There is a cross-hatch (woven) overlay pattern visible over the entire surface of the plate. The marks on the back are all in dark red lettering. REDWING is in large capital letters with the G continuing to form a wing. The words HANDPAINTED are in the center of this logo. Under the wing are U.S.A. and the number, the 3rd digit of which is indistinct. The number might be 228 or 223 or even 226. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Village Green Cooler

Question:
Hi There, I found a Red Wing cooler in the trash! It is brown with a green lid and a spigot. It is marked Red Wing with USA underneath. It’s about a foot high and 30 inches around at the widest part. I think it is "Village Green"? It is in beautiful shape, with no chips, cracks, or crazing. I don’t have a picture, so sorry, but do you know what it is and what it’s worth? I was so excited when I picked it up off the curb and saw the Red Wing mark! Your help is greatly appreciated, thanks so much.
