Hamm’s Popcorn Set individual pieces

Question: What is the value of the individual pieces of the Hamm’s Popcorn Set.

 

Answer: 

The smaller bowls are worth around $200 each, the larger bowl $500 and the single salt or pepper shaker around $100.  These values assume the items are in excellent condition.  The large bowl has an obvious large chip, which would reduce the value by at least 50-75%. The pitcher was made in China, not by Red Wing, and does not belong with the other pieces.   I have no idea what the pitcher might be worth.

RWCS releases Convention Tile

Red Wing Collectors Society

Release Convention Tile

As the RWCS did for the 30th Annual Convention, we have commissioned a tile to mark a Convention milestone—this time the 35th Annual event. Manufactured by Door Pottery in Madison, Wis., this beautifully designed 4-inch by 4-inch hand-crafted clay tile incorporates the Birchleaf decoration and the Convention years.

All Society members can pre-order the tile for $28 each via the registration form or online. Order yours today to guarantee receiving it! A limited supply will be available for purchase at Convention for $35.

These tiles were a hit in 2007; the limited supply for sale at Convention sold out quickly and we expect the same to happen this year.

Frames for this tile and the 30th Anniversary tile are also available:

FOR SALE: Quarter-sawn oak frame custom-made for displaying your 35th Annual Convention Tile – only $29.50!  Save on shipping – free delivery to Convention. Additional tile frames available:  4×8 $35.50, 4×6 $31.50, 6×6 $37.50, 6×8 $39.50 and 8×8 $41.50. Call or email: John Mathews 608-764-1454 dovetail@live.com.

Red Wing cattail cookie jar lid

Question:
Hello. I was wondering about a Red Wing cattail cookie jar lid. The lid is in excellent condition,but has what I would think is an unussual feature. It has a hole that has been drilled or somehow put in either intentionally or by accident during the manufacture of this lid. My question is could this have been done intentionally or is it some factory flaw? It is glazed inside the hole so it was definately done at the factory , but then wouldn’t this have been spotted by some sort of quality control? I have never seen this sort of thing on a jar lid so I would like to hear some opinions from some jar /Red Wing collectors to hear what they have to say about this. I am genuinely baffled by this. I can send you more pictures if you like-Andrew
