Red Wing M 1440

Question:
Hello. I requested information on a Murphy Red Wing vase last week, but nothing has been posted on this site yet…so maybe I did it wrong (?). Again, the bottom is marked: Red Wing USA M-1440. It is chartreuse on the outside lined with grey on the inside. I would like to know the year it was made, how much it originally sold for, and what it would be worth now in good condition. Sorry, I do not have a picture. Thanks.

sorry for the late reply, see previous post. thanks, steve n rose

Pineapple Marmalade Jar

Question:
I HAVE COME ACROSS AN ITEM THAT IS MARKED RED WING USA ON THE BOTTOM. IT IS A YELLOW PINEAPPLE SITTING ON A LEAF. THE TOP OF THE PINEAPPLE IS REMOVABLE. IT LOOKS TO BE CERAMIC. APPROXAMATELY 4 INCHES TALL AND 5 INCHES FOR THE BASE. IT DOES HAVE A SMALL CHIP IN THE LEAF. THAT IS THE ONLY DAMAGE NOTED. I BELIEVE IT COULD BE A CANDY OR NUT DISH. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS AND TO RESPOND. THANK YOU MITZI LAYMON.

Answer: Hi Mitzi, this is a marmalade jar, part of the hostessware group, (dinnerware) it dates from around 1940, and has a value of about 35.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Steve n rose’s answer is correct. Red Wing introduced the Hostessware group in 1940 to accompany their Gypsy Trail dinnerware line. Hostessware included a variety of pineapple, pear and apple-shaped items — cookie jars, small and large salad bowls, berry bowls, covered casseroles, covered marmites, covered marmalade jars with attached stand, and covered marmalade jars without a stand or with a detached stand. Red Wing catalogs list the available colors as blue, yellow, orange, turquoise, pink and green.
