Wheat Cookie Jar (stoneware)
Question:
I was given a cookie jar that is stamped Red Wing Art on the bottom. The cookie jar is round with the word COOKIES written on a diagonal. There is also a "wheat" pattern all the way around the jar. The glaze is a dark rust near the top and near the bottom with a tan color toward the center. The lid has a small chip on the inside rim. The jar on the other hand is in excellent condition. TThe jar dates back to the 1930′s I believe. Could you please provide more information on this piece and the current value of this cookie jar. Thank you, Deb
Deer and Console bowl, Dutch Girl Cookie Jar
Question:
3 items. an oval tureen with a raised area in center with sm. holes (for flowers?) with tall area and deer. A vase to match (cream in color). A Dutch looking girl on top of a green colored cookie jar looking item. I think they are from the 1940′s or earlier
Answer: Your first item sounds like the Deer and console bowl, a fairly easy peice to find. First introduced about 1938 The bowl is #526 and the Deer flower frog is #531 Because they are easy to find their value is about $60 for the set. The Dutch Girl Cookie jar can be found for about $100 to $125.
Red Wing 1216 and 860, Red Wing 5 Gallon Crock
Question:
I have 2 cream colored floral vases that I would love to know more about i think they are very old the # on the larger one is 1216 and the smaller one # is 860 also i have a #5 lg. crock with wooden handles on the side is DEO 21st. 1915 is that the date made? what is the value? thank you .
Answer: Your 1216 vase is from the Magnolia Group and came in at least 2 sizes, and was produced around 1946. Value is approximately $65. Your 860 vase if it has a raised tulip design is from around 1938 and has a value of about $65 or could be an ashtray from 1964 with a value of around $25
We will defer any values of crocks to the crock experts.
The Dec 21st 1915 date on the side of your Red Wing crock is a patent date for the handles. This is the date when Red Wing began applying handles to their crocks. Value on a 5 gallon Red Wing crock in mint condition will vary from a low of $60 to as high as $100. All depends on how large the wing, balanced the decorations and how dark and complete the decorations are. Al Kohlman

Red Wing Milk Pan
Question:
I have a salt glazed sroneware mixing bowl marked with an incised, but weak "RWSC" which I hope is a Red Wing piece, pre 1906. It is 12 inches in diameter, in very good to excellent condition. Twelve inches in diameter. Very good glaze. Just 2 chips in the wide band, one looks to be a mfg blemish, one is later. All gray. Excellent top ring. More pics available if needed. I plan to sell in a nice shop with lots of tourist trade, and am in no hurry to sell. Thanks for any assistance in verifying maker and establishing value. Gloria
