Red WIng Bowl, M 4009
Question:
I have a pottery bowl and am having difficulty identifying the maker. After careful inspection, it looks like it has an imprint on it that says "RED WING USA". The inside of the bowl is a minty green with brown/black flecks all over. The patter on the rim of the bowl consists of a darker green. The outside of the bowl looks like a leaf print with three different green tones. There’s a few tiny chips on the bottow of the bowl but is otherwise in great condition. I was curious if this indeed is a Red Wing and what the value of it is. (I inherited this from my grandmother who lived in central, northern Iowa, which of course, would be close to the Red Wing, Minnesota area). I’d be happy to submit more pictures for inspection if this would be helpful. Thank you verey much for your time! Tina Ubben
Answer: Hi Tina, this bowl is shape M4009, part of the Sgraffito line circa 1956. Value is around 55.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Water Coolers, Jugs and Crocks
Question:
I am from central Wisconsin, Appleton Area. I got alot of stoneware from my grandfather. I wanted to know information such as price and maybe breif history on the 10 gallon water cooler, with original spout. The union stoneware print is about 2 and 3/4 inches long. The other large 10 gallon crock has not Pattened on it and no handles. Want to price and history, i assume it is older and not worth alot. The biggest question i had was information and prices on the beehive jugs. The brown on is unmarked and i think i saw it in a collectors price guide(85 dollars). The other one is a 4 gallon jug with turkey droppings and a target and tail design. Is this a more favorable design than the rib and tail. How about price i saw in a price guide for rib design a price of 2,500 plus; but i doubt ever see it. I am a young collector 22years of age and find a great thrill in redwing hunting. I also have other pattened 10 gallon crocks, and McCombs stoneware products but think am finding Red Wing more interesting. Also trying to find the best id and price guide book on the market today can you suggest one. The couple that i have looked at so far do not have alot of water colors, target tail design, or common wing and union stoneware products in them. Thank you.
