Question:
Hello, I have a small pottery pot with the following raised label on the bottom: Red Wing USA. 508 It is 9 inches in diameter and 6 1/2 inches high. The inside of the pot is cream colored and the outside is tan color with what I view as a raised basket weave design. For example, the bottom third has raised rings, the middle portion has various sized groupings of vertical, horizontal, and square raised patterns. The top portion has more rings. It’s a pretty little pot my mother had given me and am wondering if you happen to know by the description if it is really red wing pottery and if so, when was made. Thanks! Mary Burke

Answer: Mary, It is a Red Wing item. It was designed in 1962, this one may be a little later. The glaze sounds like cocoa brown. There were 3 sizes, with this being the smallest. Value is around 30.00. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Hello, I found two flower pots. One says "Red Wing USA" and then 445 8". The other says Red Wing and then some writting I can’t make out. Each one is robbin’s egg blue with black specs throughout. Very pretty. They also have a band of petals that point downward and the petals have a zig-zag pattern on them. Can you tell me anything about them? I found them both at a garage sale and got them for a $1.00 each. Thanks Ellen

Answer: Hi Ellen, these flower pots date from the 50′s. The glaze is Fleck Nile blue. The one you can’t make out is the same, just a different size, there were several sizes this pot came in. measure across the top to get the size. Values are about 20.00 or so, depending on the size. thanks, steve n rose
