Question:
Hello:
Tom and I have been collecting redwing spongeware for around 15 years. We have some
very nice pieces and some that are cracked. We
have many bowls, paneled, smooth, cherry band pitchers, custard cups, a riemer, etc. Some have
markings some have not. They have been setting on top of our cupboards for years and it’s now time for a change. We recently found out that neither one of our children are interested in them. I’m wondering what your advice would be in selling them. Naturally, we would like to sell as a lot but that probably is not feasible.
We would appreciate any advice you could give us.
Thank you. we probably have around 50-60 items.

Pottery lamp with leaf decoration
Question:
We are trying to determine whether a lamp that belonged to my wife’s mother is a Red Wing or not. The ceramic part of the lamp is about 20" tall, and the only markings on the lamp can be seen in the attached picture. The electrical portion of the lamp still mostly works but does tend to short out. The pottery portion is in very good condition (no chips or marks that I can see). If more details or a better picture are needed, just let me know. Thanks Nathan
Answer: Hi Nathan
This doesn’t appear to be a Red Wing item. I’m not sure who made it. Wish I could be of more help. thanks, steve n rose
