Sponge-band butter pail
Question:
I have a five pound Gray Line butter jar with no lid or bail. It is in very good condition. The picture shows what I think is a production flaw in the middle of the side of the jar. What is its value? I bought it at a mall antique show in Detroit a few years ago. The dealer thought it was a hanging flower pot and didn’t know it was Red Wing. I knew better. Thank you.

Gypsy Trail coffee server
Question:
Just came across your site and I really like it. I have a piece of pottery, an orange pitcher/server with a wood handle that I was told it was gypsy trail. I have found this may be part of red wing pottery. The pitcher has a shiny glaze over the entire piece. There are a few scuff marks but overall condition is very good with no chips or cracks (noticable). I would like to know is this indeed a red wing piece, from what era and if it is red wing, why there is no marking. Also, I would like to know estimated worth. Thanks for your time Jarid S

Top Hat art Pottery
Question:
I found a top hat in a thrift store and was wondering how to identify it as Red Wing if it is not marked. The hat is 4 1/4 inches tall and 5 3/4 inches at the widest part of the brim. The glaze is a very light yellow or cream color and the bottom is solid glaze with the three tripod marks. Could you tell me the value if it should be Red Wing? Thank you
Answer: hello, Red Wing did make a top hat shape, they are usually marked, look closely under the glaze. Value is about 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
CeramaStone Post Production Piece
Question:
We bought this piece at an estate sale. It is marked "Red Wing USA" on the bottom and has the letter "K" or "R" and the number "71" faintly handwritten in the pottery on the bottom. It is 8-1/2" in diameter and 4" high. We have been told it is possibly a prototype or test piece for a Canister in the CeramaStone pattern, but with no lid. Evidently CeramaStone did not come in white, just colors.
