Fruit or Salad Set – salad bowl and plates

Question:
I have what I assume is a salad bowl and 4 plates. The bowl is 12 1/2 in. diameter and the plates are 8 1/2 ins. The bowl and plates have fluted edges. The bowl is decorated with a pear, apple, cherries and grapes and each plate has a painting of one of these. All pieces have the Red Wing stamp and are handpainted. This is an old set from my Mother who purchased it somewhere in MN. It is in mint condition as it has probably been used only 2 or 3 times in the past 40 or 50 yrs. It this a colectors item and what is the worth ? Carol

Water Cooler Spigot sources

Question:
I am looking for old or even newer spigot for several water juggs. Rob Mathias (good friend of mine) told me to talk with the fellow at Larry’s Juggs. But the site sends me here. Is there anywhere I can get some old or new either: ceramic, porceilin (however), brass or chrome spigots for a water jug? Are the holes standard on most water jugs? Thanking you in advance, Doug

Salad Bowl with rose designs and green glaze

Question:
I was wondering if this piece was truly a Red Wing piece.

I bought it at an auction and they claimed it was early art pottery and "booked for $400" It is 3.5" tall 11" wide.

Can you tell me if it is or not and if so a little more about it? Thanks William Michalko Rochester, MN

Answer: Hi William

yes, it is a red wing item, from the mid 40′s. It’s actually called a salad bowl, with a rose design. Done in cold paint, the decoration will wear off, it’s not under glaze. Value is around 50.00 or so. There is a cookie jar and munch jar that match this. thanks, steve n rose

4 gallon crock and 5 gallon jug

Question:
I have two nice RedWing vessels. One is a 4 gal crock with handles. The other is a 5 gallon jug. Both have no cracks or chips. Both only have the number and the Red Wing on the sides. They both have a smooth glaze. I do not have a picture to send but they are both in very good condition. Any idea you can provide will help me decide if I should keep them in the family or sell them. Thank you. Phillip
