Flower Dish – raised leaf design

Question:
Hi, I have an aqua oval flower dish with a raised leaf design. There are tiny brown specks in the aqua glaze. In addition there is a dark brown deer "frog". The glaze is very thick. Both are marked Red Wing and are in perfect condition.

Can you tell me when these were produced and what the value might be?

Thank you for your help, Marly Z.

Answer:
Marly, You have one of Red Wings most popular forms. The bowl is #526, and
the Deer frog is # 531. They were made for almost twenty years.
You have a mix & match glaze. The bowl would be Fleck Nile Blue, and
the Deer is most likely Bronze. The set may bring around 50 or so
being mismatched in glazes. thanks, steve n rose

Hi, Some time ago I acquired a Red Wing Stoneware Umbrella Vase? It is green and tan glaze with vertical stripes except for a upper border of leaves and some type of bird like a stork or heron aournd the diameter. I would love to find out more about this piece if possible, especially what time period it came from and what the design means. Appreciate any information you can give me and thank you for your time. Thanks Terri T.

Answer:
Hi Terri Think you have a brushware vase from the early 30′s. Stork, ostrich, emu, not really sure. It came in 3 different sizes, 8,10,12". Value is according to size. 60-100 or so. RRP also made a similar vase. Some of Red Wing’s were marked with a circular ink stamp. thanks, steve n rose

Can you tell me the value of a large flower pot with
saucer. I believe it to be Red wing. It has a green mat finish with a cream under coat.It has leaves on it. No marks on bottom. please include any info. Thanks Linda M.

Answer:
Linda, It is hard to tell what you have. Red Wing made quite a few flower pots through out it’s history. They made flower pots with raised leaves or flowers, painted leaves or with wreaths of leaves around the pot as well as many other designs. Flower pots were made in varying sizes as well. A picture would be very helpful. Thanks, steve n rose

Umbrella Stand

Question:
I saw a green brushware umbrella stand the other day, it was decorated with flowers. The tag said Red Wing. Did RW make such a piece and was the amount of $210 a good price. I didnt see any damage. Thanks Kathy D.

Answer:
Hi Kathy, Red Wing did make an umbrella stand, and 210.00 would be well worth the price if indeed it is Red Wing. RRP also made them, a "poppy" type pattern. Unless it is marked, I would be careful without more positive proof. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing Vase 1171

Question: {mosimage}
I just bought a beautiful Red-Wing vase at a garage sale. It is 9" high, creamy peach/pink on the outside and a crackled cream on the inside. On the bottom Red-Wing is two words with the hypen between. U.S.A. with a period after the U and the A is underneath the words Red-Wing. It’s numbered 1171 It has a small chip on the very top. Other than that it is in excellent condition. Do you have any clue as to what it’s value is? I would like to use it as a flower vase if it’s not worth too much. Thank You, Mary A. Holland MI

Answer:
Hi Mary, If you like it, keep it! Holding flowers are their main purpose. It is a fairly common vase, and the chip will hurt it’s value. thanks, steve n rose

Hi, I Recently came across a red wing crock in my mother’s cellar. I don’t know much athm this one has a 20 with a 6 in redwing and union stoneware oval seal. In very good shape on cracks (no Lid). also has wire with wood handels. Also has Patend Dec. 8 1915 mark. can you give me any information about this piece and possible value. Thanks Karen R.

Answer:
Karen, if your 20 gallon crock has a 6" wing and handles, it was most-likely manufactured right around 1915. In Mint condition with outstanding markings it would be valued around $200. Any damage such hairlines, cracks or chips will reduce it’s value. Al Kohlman

Hearthstone orange dinnerware

Question:
I am wondering what the price of Hearthstone orange dinnerware is selling for. I have 8 dinner plates, 8 large and 8 small bowls, and 4 cups. I also have 2 serving platters. It is from the late 70′s early 80′s. Orange with a brown rim. Thanks so much! Thanks Sara T.

Answer:
Sara, The Hearthstone Orange and Hearthstone Beige patterns were made by Red Wing for Sears stores. These patterns were made for only about one year, from mid-1966 until Red Wing Potteries closed in 1967. They are two of the six patterns made in the Ceramastone shape. Due to the short production time none of these patterns is very common, but they also don’t seem to be very popular with collectors. Assuming excellent condition, dinner plates are worth around $10, small bowls $5, large bowls $10, cups $5, and platters $15. Larry

Stephanie, Your teapot is indeed from the Two Step pattern. It was made around 1960 and is not an easy piece to find. In excellent condition the value would be in the range of $50 to $75. Larry
