Red Wing 1216 and 723

Question:
I recently picked up two pieces of Red Wing that I would like to know time period, desirability and possible value: The first is a vase numbered 1216. It is approximately 8" tall. It appears to be the magnolia pattern but the flower is not open like most and actually looks more like a rose from the side. The other piece has a lid, is numbered 723-S, is 7" tall to the top of the lid, and is solid green in color. I believe they call these jolly jars. The book I have showed it in mosaic and does not mention the green. Thank you for any information you may provide on these two items.

Answer: Hello, the 1216 is part of the Magnolia group, circa 1946. Value is around 55.00. The "jolly jar" has 3 distinct patterns, not green. It may be an aftermarket piece. Value? aroudn 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Provincial Cookware Caserole, side marked

Question:
I have recently purchased a set of Red Wing Provincial Ware. There is a covered casserole, marked 19 on the side, and six covered marmites (?) marked 22 on the sides. They are unglazed on the outside, but do have glaze on the inside and covers. When I first saw them I thought they would be great for making baked french onion soup in the oven, but I suspect they are 1940s vintage and wonder if I should because of value or safety. Any help you could offer regarding value, care and use in this mannor would be appreciated. Thank you. Patrick
