Red Wing 20012 wave without tropicana relief
Question:
I have a vase bottom mark Red Wing USA and 2001, color Pink Zephyr Fleck inside and out. I have most every Red Wing identification book in print. I find B2001 in the Tropicana line in the books but no 2001. The vase is the same shape and size as B2001 but without the Tropicana relief on the front. Any information available would be appreciated.
Answer : I don’t have a real answer, it could be a redone shape, the fleck glazes are slightly older than Tropicana. I don’t have a listing for 2001 either, Murphy did a hobnail ashtray with that number, but it’s not a vase form. I did just find a similiar form, but it’s marked 2003, and is plain, no decoration like Tropicana. Value is around 30.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

My mother and father were cleaning out my Grandparent’s place and came across this pot. The only marking on the bottom is a circle, Red Wing on the top, Union Stonewared Co. in the middle and Red Wing, Minn. on the bottom of the circle. Please see the attached photograph. We are wondering about the history, value, age, whatever you can share. Thank you. Sincerely, Ruth

6 gallon red wing crock and wax sealer
Question:
Dear Al, I want to thank you for your expertise and help. I happened across a 6 Gal redwing crock and would appreciate any information you might have on it including probable value. It’s measurements are:15" Tall, Inside dia: 10 1/2", Outside dia:12 1/2". It does have a hairline crack about 3 inches long beginning at the lip and running down. I’m not sure on the other one, it is not marked and is just shy of holding 2 Gal, I was told it could be a redwing wax sealer, but it is almost a gallon larger than any I’ve seen or heard of. The measurements are:10 1/2" Tall, Lip dia: 4 5/8", Base dia: 8 3/4". Thank you again for your skillful knowledge, Eric.
12 gallon red wing crock
Question:
Hello. I have, what I believe to be, a Red Wing 12 gallon crock and I’d like to know more about it, i.e. age, origins, care, value, is it safe to use today, etc. Stats: – 17 1/4" in diameter at widest point – 16 3/4" in height – wire handles – marked with "12", large red wing, "Red Wing Union Stoneware Co…." – marked under one of the wire handles, only partially legible "PATENTED DEC…..1915" Its overall condition is very good. There are some fissures around the top rim and a few around the base, which appear to be inherent to the piece from its firing. There is also one small chip, about the size of a nickel, at the outer edge of the top. I appreciate your time and expertise! Kind regards, Maria
