Question:
I have a bowl with an attached flower frog. I was told it may be Redwing, but I can’t find another example of it. Could you please tell me if it is? Thanks so much! Matte white, marked something like "3134 USA" very faint. 6 1/2" wide, 2 1/2" tall. Here are two links to photos and I uploaded one too. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1315/1222838052_c06cd101bd.jpg http://farm2.static.flickr.
Answer: I don’t recognize this as a Red Wing item. The glaze is similar to some, but the shape isn’t. I don’t know who the maker is. Wish we could be more helpful. thanks, steve n rose
Here is the second photo. Thank you!
Gosh… I don’t know where to start. I am an Indiana resident. My Red Wing passion began a few years ago and I have several red stamped wing crocks (even a 30 gallon). Now, however, a am interested in the making & history of Bee Sting salt glazed crocks. I have several books about Red Wing stoneware and one on Indiana potteries. So here are my questions: 1. In the attached pictures, which crocks are Red Wing? Some that I THOUGHT were Red Wing are actually depicted in a book called Indiana Stoneware by Peggy Loar 1974. 2. How can I value my whole collection for insurance purposes? 3. Where can I find more information about mid-west potteries from 1800-1900. I know the basic history behind the Western Stoneware and the Red Wing unions but I want more specific information. Thanks for any help you can offer.
I have 2 crocks given to me by my Stepfather when died at 89 – 5 years ago. They were his fathers. What can you tell me about them.
