Red Wing M-5010
Question:
This is a bowl that is stamped into the pottery: "Red Wing USA M-5010" on the bottom. It is 8 1/4" in diameter, 2 3/4" tall at the highest point and 2 1/2" tall at the lowest point. It dips into sort of a scallop. I hope you can tell by the picture. It is 3-footed. The color is a dark camel and is true in the picture. The glaze is not very shiny, but it doesn’t appear to have been used very much. What is it called / used for? Anything you can tell me will be appreciated. Thank you!
Answer: This bowl is from charles murphy’s garden line, circa 1957. think the glaze is called cinnamon. value around 25.00. thanks, steve n rose

Bob White Collection
Question:
Hello, Red Wing Experts! We recently rented a friend’s Aunt Agnes’ cottage in Redgranite WI and were delighted to find it stocked with a nearly full set of Bob White dinnerware. I trembled every time we washed the dishes, worried that we’d chip something…or worse yet shatter a piece. (Next time, I’ll take our own dishes and just admire the Red Wings.) In any event, I’d love to be able to tell Agnes what her fabulous collection might be worth. Would you please provide an estimated value for the following Bob Whites, all in excellent shape: 7 dinner plates (one with a small chip) 8 mid-size plates 6 cups/saucers Oblong bowl with "handles" Salt/pepper shakers Appetizer bird (spots for toothpicks with olives or cheese) 4 rectangular appetizer/sandwich (?) plates Pitcher (I believe there were more pieces in the hutch, but I can’t remember what they were) Thanks! – Cathy B. P.S. Sorry, no photos.

Red Wing Vase 779
Question:
We have a green vase about 7 1/4 inches tall and 4 3/4 inches at the opening with ridges up and down on the bottom half and smooth on the top half. It says Red Wing USA 779 on the bottom. I have looked in Ray Reiss’s book from 1996 and do not find 779. It goes from 778 to 780. Would you know anything about this vase? I can also see where the sticker was and it looks the shape of the anniversary sticker. Thank You.
Answer: Hi, It’s listed in Ray’s art pottery two. It is from around 1962. Value is about 30.00 or so. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose

Wreath Pattern
Question:
Hello – Lucky me – Today I acquired a covered casserole and charger in what turns out to be the WREATH pattern. It’s unmarked. Found the pattern in my RW Stoneware guide. It matches the plate that’s listed, but no other pieces are shown. It’s a light green color with some of the bisque showing through, like the glaze is washed on. The charger measures 10" and is MINT. The casserole dish measures 8" diameter, 3 1/2" tall and is mint except for some silver scratching on the inside. The lid is 8 1/4" diameter and has two hairlines, one near the knob, the other on the edge. It also has a good deal of crazing. What can you tell me about this piece(s)? Years of production, value, and if possible, how popular was this line? It’s beautiful and I only paid $3.00!
