Question:
Good afternoon, I was referred to your website & have a question regarding a Red Wing stoneware pottery item that I purchased at a estate sale sometime ago. I have a Red Ware stoneware "Bulldog" deep brown glaze & approx. 8 to 9 inches long. (large piece & is in wonderful condition) I’ve tried to find info. on this piece but….not as easy as it may seem. :( I’d like to know what the: Age, history & value $$ of this piece would be if at all possible ? I saw the EXACT photo of this bulldog on the Red Wing Pottery website & asked a Mr. "Jim Tyne" who suggested I further my question with your organization. Thank you once more for your time as I welcome your reply. With warmest regards, Michael -

Question:
Greetings Larry Roschen! My name is Eddie Isaacs, and I too have a passion for salt glazed and Red Wing stoneware! I recently purchased a very special piece that I’d like your opinion on. It is a salt glazed stoneware teapot done in spongeware with a blue and brown combination, with solid brown to lid knob, the handle, the top and bottom rims, and the spout. The spout has V’s cut into both the left and the right sides. It weighs slightly over 2 pounds, and is in remarkable condition! On the inside of the lid there are the initials, L.H., under the glaze. Also wanted to mention that the spout and the handle, as well as the holes on the inside of pot are all applied by hand.

I have a great feeling about the rarity of this teapot. I have researched many books and online extensively and have not seen anything like this one! I purchased this teapot from an older lady who said she had obtained it from an estate in Michigan, but didn’t remember which city, as she buys antiques from all over the state! It resembles Red Wings’ spongeware pitchers quite a lot. Is this a lunch hour, or end of day piece? Included are several photos. Thank you much, Sincerely, Eddie
