Red Wing Hanging planter

Question:
I acquired this piece at an auction and I was not aware of the Redwing brand until people started telling me about it. Just out of curiousity I was just wondering what the piece was worth if any.

Please contact me with any questions! Thanks!

Answer: Hello, It’s from around 1957, and it’s actually a hanging planter. Value is around 35.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Hi ~ my husband came home from auction with this awesome dish. I don’t know if it is a serving platter or a casserole dish. It is rectangular in shape. It is aqua in color (more green than blue), it measures 12" from left to right and 10" from front to back. The left and right handles have what look to be snow flakes with arrows or it could be flowers with leaves. The bottom is a mustard yellow color. The entire piece is very glossy. The back is incised with 1041, Red Wing, USA. Thank you, Debbi
