Question:
The attached photo is of a Hamm’s Bear bank, which was given to me by Richard Gillmer, back in 1967 and I have had it ever since. I’m looking for more information on it, like how many were made, what is it worth, and also how I can contact Carol Betcher who was recently featured in a Hamm’s newsletter. My mother is Joy Nygaard, who was Richard’s secretary for many years. I also worked at the pottery in the mid 60′s and the salesroom later on. Thx, Cary
Answer: Hi Cary, quite the family history!! They sell for around 500 or so, althought this one may be a second, or an oddball. the red glaze isn’t finished across the Hamm’s. I don’t know of any production numbers on these, other than they are quite collectible. I would contact the society, they have more contact information that I do. thanks, steve n rose
This Vase is 12Hx12w and the base is 7"x4" with an opening of 3"x12". As you can see there is a hairline crack on one edge, otherwish the piece is in wonderful condition. The interior color is seagrass green? (or in that range). The exterior is ivory or white? I would like to know all the information that you may have on this piece particularly the amount I should insure it for..jpg)
Hello, my parents just bought this, they collect red wing and don’t have anything like this and the man they bought it from called a preserve jar and we were wondering if you could give us any other information about it and what its worth thank you!
Redwing Brittiny Sugar and cream….no nicks or chips
Hi, I have a Red Wing pitcher with what looks like a bird or rooster, perhaps a quail. Tourquoise and dark brown, pristine condition, no cracks, shiny off the showroom floor. My aunt and uncle purchased either in the late 50′s or 60′s at the Pottery Barn in Laguna Beach, they had the whole set at that time. I have had this for years and just decided to sell it. It is on ebay now and I see that there is a place for origin and it says England. I didn’t put that on, perhaps the site knows from past data but can you tell me where it might be from. Thanks a million,,, Here is a picture of it. Sissi
I have a Red Wing cookie jar in the shape of a grape cluster. It is a pale/light blue green color and is mark Red Wing USA on the bottom. No chips or cracks. I would love to know how much it is worth. I can’t find much info on the fruit designs. Thank you!
Recently we purchased a 2 pound butter crock on eBay, and according to the seller, he stated this: "This is manufactured by Red Wing, it has the Red Wing markings on the bottom…" Well, we got it in the mail and we don’t see any such markings. Wondered if you could help us if this is true or not. I have provided a picture of the bottom. If you want more pictures, the item in eBay is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110222190365&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=001 Thank you. Look forward to your response. (This is our second attempt to submit this question. My internet connection was interupted on the first attempt). Roger
