Question:
At a thrift store I bought an art pottery piece that read RED WING U S A M 1463 It is imprinted on the bottom. The piece is an oval, carmel colored, oval bowl. The bowl’s lip are curled inward and outward. I am unable to send a picture because I don’t have a digital camera. I simply want to know if this is a Red Wing pottery art piece. Can you provide an idea of price? I paid less than $5 for it. So I’m not out anything of great wealth. Thank-you.

Answer: HI, it is a piece of Red Wing artware. It was made around 1954. Value around 15.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I have several pieces of red wing pottery and would like to estimate their value for insurance and curiosity purposes. One – vase pearl white with green (lime) interior glazed finish – good condition #1246 One Cookie Jar – dutch girl. Skirt is base of jar and top is torso and head of dutch girl. Skirt is white top is yellow beige. Chip on base of lid – 1/2" otherwise good condition Console set – 1 fluted round bowl #1620 Red Wing Inc. – white with candle sticks 1619 Red Wing Inc.(2 in set)) Cup and saucer – beige or brown speckled on white cup with turqouise and brown bird on cup and small "pine needle" design – 2 on saucer – one on cup. great condition Pickle Vats? – One 10 gall or so with red wing emblem – no lid. One larger perhaps 20 gallon with lid also with red wing emblem and three others that are smaller (no lids). These are presently in a shed used for storage of old Ford Model A parts. They are dirty but so far unchipped. Photos are not available at this time. Lynne

Answer: Hi Lynne, The vase is worth around 20.00. The dutch girl’s usually sell for around 125.00 or so, the chip will hurt it. The console set, about 30.00. The cup and saucer, 15.00. The crocks vary, with wing size and what oval they have. Maybe 80-150.00 on those. thanks, steve n rose
