Question:
I have 5 cup & saucer style pieces that I believe, some time ago, I saw in a Red wing catalog. I imagine originally there were 6 to the set. I would call them luncheon sets. The cups are mug style the little plates are approx. 6 inches, have a cup "hole" with a sweeping wing that goes on either side of the hole. The 5 sets I have are each a different color. White, blue, green(actually a turquoise color), and yellow. I’m going by memory here…so that may not be accurate! Any way…they are each a different color. I am interested in selling the set so would really like to know if it’s Red wing and an approx. value. I have them stored now so don’t have easy access to get a photo. Thanks for your help! Betty

Win Twins Ashtray
Question:
I was finally able to get a picture to submit. Please tell me any information you have on this Red Wing Ashtray. I think it’s an ashtray anyway.

There is a baseball in the background. One man has on a jersey with an "M" on it and the other with an "S" on it. I can’t find another one like it. Thanks!
Answer:
Hello, it’s actually listed in the stoneware guide. It would be from 1965, for the world series. It has a listed value of about 300.00. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing 4001
Question:
Hi I found this piece (serving bowl) in Portland, OR for $5.00 in a traditional antique sales area of town called Sellwood. I liked it because my home is a mid-century bi-level and we have embraced mid-century modern and have been renovating our home in danish modern or mid-century modern furnishings. This bowl reminded me of the period and I love the natural curves and hues of the piece. As I was washing it today, after 2 years of having it I noticed the marking and "Googled" it, now I’m intrigued to know the story behind the piece. Any help is appreciated. Rachel, Portland, Oregon
Answer: Hi Rachel, thanks for the Pic, this is from 1955, Sgraffito line. Value is around 55.00 or so. There were several shapes done in this particular line. Steve n Rose
Normandy Plate
Question:
This is a 12" plate painted with an apple and apple blossoms — on the back is the Red Wing Pottery emblem and "hand painted". The plate travelled by train from Wisconsin to Washington State with our family of nine(the Pflugers) in 1943. An aunt, Tina Larson, worked as a painter at the Red Wing factory for many years. It’s a family treasure, & we’ve long wondered if it was a one-of-a-kind piece, or part of a set. Any information or history that any of you could provide would be greatly appreciated….approximate year produced, sale price, current value, etc. Thanks so much for your help. Mary
