Question:
I have an item marked “RED WING U.S.A. / M-1629″ It appears to be a Wall Pocket or Wall Vase, with a curved ‘modern’ shape, rather large size (approx. 9″ high x 6″ wide), and a speckled chartreuse glaze. I have not been able to find specific information in any of the references I have available to me. Can you help?
Answer: Yes, we can! It is a shape done by Charles Murphy, circa 1959. It is a wall pocket, and the glaze is fleck yellow. Value is about 55.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
Hello from Montreal, Quebec, Canada! I had the great pleasure of buying recently a pitcher which looked like one my mother was using when we were young. It is 7 inches tall and we can see 547 RumRill engraved on the bottom. The color is like two shades of green. It is in perfect condition and if it is possible, I would like to know approximately its value. Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Answer: Hello Canada!!
This dates from the mid to late 30′s. Think the glaze is opalescent green. Many companies made shapes similar to this. But Red Wing did make this one. Value is around 60.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

There are 2 very small chips on the edge underneath. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank-you, Holli
Answer: This is the anniversary edition of the "wing" ashtray. from 1953. Value is around 45.00 with the chips. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I picked this up on eBay and was wondering if you could tell me more about it. The seller thought it was a steamer insert. It is 6 3/4" at the top, 5 1/4" at the bottom and stands 6 1/2" tall. The bottom is impressed with a B and the side is stamped with a circle that might read "Red Wing Union – Stoneware Co. – Red Wing Minn" but it is quite dificult to read. It has a glazing blow out on the top, does that hurt it’s value. Thank you.

Question:
I have a 10″ high satin finish vase (5 1/2 w. at lip. long neck & bulbous at bottom. What I need help with is the mark. It says: red wing pottery in a circle with a star in the middle all printed in blue. The color of the vase is orchid and it appears to be hand thrown. Also has three small decorative rings at top. I would greatly appreciate information as to the year it was made and what the value is. It sits on my coffee table and I never get tired of looking at it. Thank you so much for any help. Carolyn
Answer: Carolyn, the mark is fairly rare, not used too often, presumed to be from the mid-thirties. A pic would be great, as the shape isn’t ringing any bells in my head. It should still be worth 75.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
This set of dishes was donated to a thrift store that I volunteer at. The only information that I have so far is that it is from about the 1940′s. There are three different Red Wing marks throughout the set. The pieces are as follows (sizes are approximate): 7-10 1/4" dinner plates 19-10 1/2" dinner plates (some of these have a "burnt" look and crackled glaze) 14-7 3/8" plates 11-6 1/8" plates 4-8 1/4" serving bowls (1 has a chip on backside rim) 2-7 1/4" bowl (1 has a chip on backside rim) 5-5 1/4" bowl (1 has a chip on backside rim) 9-4" dia., 2" tall tea cups 11-6" saucers 3-8 1/2" casseroles (1 has a poorly repaired handle on lid) 2-4 1/2" sugar bowls (1 has a broken handle on lid, piecs missing) 2 creamers (not sure how to measure these!) 1-13" tall pitcher This set is noticably short on bowls, like maybe a box was missed in the donation. I would be very appreciative of any information you have about it (pattern, etc.) and if you have any idea of the value. It’s a very beautiful set in overall good condition, it’s a shame that it isn’t more complete! I also have a number of other pictures if you would like to see them also. Thank you, Cheryl
Question:
I have a piece of redwing pottery that I think is an ashtray. I have not been able to find another piece like it. Can you please tell me exactly what it is, if it is rare and what it is worth? It measures approx. 6 1/4″ x 5″ and says, “WIN TWINS”. The background is a baseball with two baseball players shaking hands. One has on a jersey with an “M” and the other has on one with an “S”. The back of the piece says “RED WING U.S.A.” It is a medium brown glaze. Thanks!
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
