Red Wing, Pitcher
Question:
Dear People: We would very much appreciate your opinion on the value of this pitcher. It is approximately 7" high, and about 4" in diameter at the top opening. The glaze is an unusual blend of earth tones, similar to a ‘raku’ look. It only says ‘ Red Wing, USA on the bottom. Thank you for your reply, Sincerely, Wayne Listing
Answer: Hi Wayne
this is actually a tea pot, from the futura line. It looks to be an odd glaze, most likely done by someone other than Red Wing. (they sold molds to other companies or craft shops) It is missing the lid, also. value around 10.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Cream Soup Bowl, Brittney Pattern
Question:
I’m from Wi. but recently attended an estate auction in southern Al. I purchased a set of four covered RedWing bowls described as onion soup bowls. The bowls have two handles and the cover has a yellow applied rose with two leaves to lift it. Bowl is 5" across & 2" high without cover. Sides of bowl are decorated with yellow and blue flowers with cream background in and out. Inside of bowl begins with yellow 1/2" stripe and a narrow blue one. One bowl has a hairline which I think you can see on the picture but rest have no chips and seem to be in excellent condition. The all have the stamped RedWing mark on the bottom.
