Unmarked Red Wing Stoneware

Question:
Hi I was told there was a period of time when red wing did not have a stamp on the product is that correct? I bought a cookie jar and was told there was no stamp on it? thanks Lisa

Answer:
Lisa, Unmarked Red Wing pieces were made throughout the company’s existence, from the earliest stoneware in the 1870s to the final dinnerware production in 1967. Yes, there are definitely unmarked cookie jars that were made by Red Wing. And of course there are plenty of unmarked cookie jars that were made by other companies too. Larry

RW Churn Lids

Question:
Hi, Do Red Wing churn lids have the churn size embossed on them? Example: 5&6
Thanks Bill

Answer:
Bill, not all the Red Wing churn lids will have the size embossed on them. A good rule of practice when looking for a churn lid is to measure the inside opening of your churn (where the lid would fit). Churn openings vary and many times the lid which may be marked as the correct size for your churn, will not always fit. Al Kohlman

Butterfly Ohio Crock

Question: {mosimage}
Could you please verify that this is a Red Wing piece and what the approximate value is. Thank you, Bonnie

Answer:
Bonnie, your 6 gallon crock is not Red wing. It looks to be an Ohio piece of Stoneware. The Butterfly (or some call it a flower) is nicely done. I would place a value of $300 to $450 on your piece. Al Kohlman

Brushware Elk Crock

Question:
I have a brushware elk "crock" number 107 as seen in the Moran book. It’s in primo condition and is just as described in the Moran book. I wonder where we might find someone interested in purchasing it – thanks – Elizabeth

Answer:
Ebay would be a source for selling the item or try your local auction house. If it is not ink stamped on the bottom, it will hurt the value. Robinson Ramsbottom also produced the same sand jar, in simular glazes as Red Wing. Steve N Rose

Brushed Ware Umbrella Stand

Question: {mosimage}
Here is a picture of a Brushed Ware Umbrella Stand I just found at an Illinois Estate. It measures 21 1/2 inch high. Please let me know the value and if RRP Co also used this mold. Thanks Marijke

Answer:
We only received a picture of the bottom of the umbrella stand. We need another picture of the design, as RRP and Red Wing made simular pieces as you already know. We believe you to be correct about RRP as the maker. To our knowledge Red Wing did not make an umbrella stand with the poppy design. They usually sell for around $150.
