Fondoso bowl with pat. pending marking, Gypsy Trail Line

Question:
I have an interesting Red Wing Potteries dish(maybe bulb planter???). It measures about 9" across at the widest with handles. It is bottom marked: "C REDWING POTTERIES INC. DESIGN PAT. PENDING". This marks looks a little unusual to me. I am guessing it dates to the late 30s early 40s and it was a transitional piece between the round blue ink stamp on some of the early art pottery pieces and the more normal looking mark followed by USA and/or a number. I would like to know if there is a pattern name to this piece, if the bottom mark is rare and/or collectible, and what would the book value be? Thanks Jon from Iowa

2 gallon birch leaf crock

Question:
Hi, I became interested in red wing a couple of months ago and since then have been reading a lot of info and keeping my eyes open for good deals. I picked this piece up because I liked the birch leaves. After doing some research I found that the "ski" oval was put into use about 1909 and that the "red wing" logo also began to be used about the same time. Since this crock has the birch leaves and the ski oval, would it be safe to say that this piece was made in or around 1909? Would this make it a transitional piece? What might the value be of this crock? Thank you, Warren

Sponge bucket with wire handle

Question:
Hi- My mom recently passed away and left a nice collection of stoneware. She has two dark blue sponge ware design type covered jars, each with a wire handle. They are approx. 6-7" tall (I did not measure them while I was there, sorry) and there is no Red Wing marking. I was told that these are indeed Red Wing refrigerator jars, these pieces were not marked during production and they are rare. Any thoughts? Thanks Pat
