Bob White in original boxes

Question:
While cleaning out my Father’s garage after he passed away, we came across these dishes tucked away in a cabinet. I have 4 sets of the Red Wing Bob White(dove) Collection cup, saucer and cereal bowl in their original boxes and packaging, never used. Does this increase the value of the dishes? THanks Tammi

CeramaStone dinnerware, Heatherstone

Question:
Hello! My mom recently rediscovered her sister’s CeramaStone by Red Wing place settings in our basement. My aunt purchased the set in Red Wing, MN in the early 1970s. The design in the center is brown, orange, and white hand painted flowers with a dark brown pattern around the ridge. We have 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates, a platter, and a serving bowl that all match. The 4 dinner plates are labeled "Heatherstone" on the back and numbered 227. The other pieces have nothing on the bottoms.

Additionally, we have 4 coffee cups and 4 sacuers, salt and pepper shakers, and a cream and sugar set (with lid) that are painted solid brown. They have the same brown pattern as the plates around the edges. They also have no labeling on the bottoms.

Any information you can tell us about these pieces is appreciated. They are all in great condition. My aunt has since passed away and we are wondering what to do with this beautiful set. Thank you! Kelly Larson PS – we do not have pictures, as we already packed the pieces back up in the basement. We can provide them if necessary. Thank you! Kelly

Staffordshire stile dog, not red wing

Question:
Here is a item we think may be Redwing. Stoneware cat 11" high Marked John McKenzie Says AUG 1906? Has other mark letters we cannot make out. We know nothing about its history. Ron

 

Answer: Hi Ron

Got your pic, this is a Staffordshire style dog. Red Wing didn’t make these, and I can’t say for sure who did. Still a very nice item, and you don’t often see the bottoms inscribed with a name and a date. Wish I could be of more help. thanks, steve n rose
