Red Wing M 3017, Decorator Line

Question:
I have this "Redwing USA M3017" fruit compote by Charles Murphy. I believe it is Travertine glaze–what I would call mid-century green. My mother-in-law bought it new probably in 50′s or 60′s. It has some Crackling–original? Could you give me the year manufactured and a value range? I want to sell it by online auction but I was given wildly different values by local antique dealers. Thanks!

Answer: This is part of the decorator line, circa 1959-1961. The crackle is normal. The glaze maybe silver-green, which is a decorator line color, but this one looks a bit different. Value is around 55.00. thanks, steve n rose

15 gallon crock with fitting

Question:
Just acquired a large Red Wing crock and am interested in its history and use. It has a 15 on it (the 5 is in very decorative script). Below that is "the" red wing. Below the red wing, in an oval, is Red Wing (a line below that), Potteries, Inc. (a line below that)and then Redwing, Minn. Above the 15 is an opening with a fitting in it. Facing the writing on the crock, on the left and at the bottom is an opening which does not have a fitting in it. The handles are metal with wood hand holds. The color is tan/beige. Thank you. Joy

Red Wing 1251

Question:
Greetings, Thanks for the help with the ID on the plain white Tex Tweed Anniversary Platter a few weeks ago. I just dug out another piece of Red Wing that I also need help with. I could not find an example of it anywhere but I did find a site that claims that this shape was attributed to Belle Kogan. It is a leaf shaped bowl or dish – Approx. 13-1/2” long X 6-1/2” wide. It has a pinkish salmon interior and a pale blue / grey underside. Marked on the bottom – RED WING, USA 1251. I was wondering if there was a name, date and perhaps an estimate of value for this piece. It is clean with no chips, cracks or repairs but the inside has some overall crazing and there is a 2-1/2” long X 1-1/2” long part on the inside that goes up the side that looks like a stain, but it appears more like it is inside the finish and not a stain that will wash off. Many thanks. Mercedes

Answer: Hi Mercedes, It could be a Kogan piece, hard to say. It’s from around 1946, and I know Murphy left in 1947 for a few years, the glaze appears to be luster pink. Value is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
