Question:
I have a "yellow" cat that is about 6′ tall w/ his mouth wide open. The bottom is marked 878 REDWING. This is 1 of about 6 that I have. This is the only that appears to be marked though. They are all odd colors. Can you tell me anything about them.

Answer: They were designed in 1939, six figures. scotty dog, cat, pelican, fish, elephant and donkey. they are actually bud vases, not ash receivers. thought most of them were marked, but some may not be. Values run around $175.00 each. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
when it comes to ash receivers, did red wing sign all of the receivers produced? do unsigned receivers have the same value as signed ones? thanks for your time – appreciate the same.

Answer: They are all very recognizable shapes, not being signed won’t hurt their value. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Can you help me find who the maker of this crock is? If you look closely, and have an imagination, the letters could be sauerkraut. There are no other marks on this crock other than the blue colbalt. I also researched Clay Giants. The author believes the potter’s name was August Sandberg. The letters look more like S&K to me. Regardless, if this person did make the crock, is it possible there would be a picture of the person who made it in some type of documentation? Any info would be helpful Best regards, Kim
