Red Wing 768 pitcher, Belle Kogan 100 line

Question:
Hello! I just finished reading the article about the Red Wing Pottery Show that was in the June 24, 2009 publication of Antique Trader. What a wonderful WebSite!! I have a attached a pic of the ONLY piece of Red Wing I own. It is a handsome pitcher that I found in a thrift shop and bought for $.50. I collect lots of 50′s era ephemera and I bought it for it’s unique shape and color scheme. It is embossed "768" and "RED WING" on the underside. I would be enthralled to learn more about it!! Thanks very much!!! Lindsay Leiper, Norristown, PA

Answer: Hi Lindsay

Thanks for the compliments, we do have a well run organization, and quite large to boot! Your piece is more art pottery, than an actual dinnerware pitcher. It’s part of Belle Kogan’s 100 line, circa 1938. It is an interesting form. Value is around 75.00 or so. You made a good investment… thanks, steve n rose

The salt shacker is shaped like an egg and the pepper shacker is round and about an inch or two tall. Other items include: serving bowls,platter,a serving bowl divided in half, plates, cups, saucer, dessert plate, gravy boat,creamer,and a sugar bowl. Are these items of any value other than I liked the color and the shape?
