Can you tell me who made this piece and when. It’s 4 1/2" high x 7 5/8" diameter and has a bird and flower decoration. The inside of the pot is brown glaze and has throwing rings. The handle attached at the back of the pot is rectangular with a swipe of cobalt blue across the top edge. There is also cobalt blue on each side of the pour spout. The opposite side has 3 cobalt leaves. There a black circular mark on the bottom. Jean
My husband thinks that this is a RedWing Lamp, but I cannot find it in our RedWing Books. Can you confirm that it is RedWing? Thanks
Hello, I have three pieces that I believe were given to city employees in 2000, 2001, and 2002. Each have a Red Wing Stoneware Company stamp on the bottom and each are numbered out of 300 (presumably a limited run of 300 for each piece?). The handled jug piece has a slot for coins on the upper side and is stamped with the letters "RWS" on the bottom. I also have a tea-light candle holder piece with a separate flared glass cover that I believe was another limited city employee gift, likely from the same 2000-2005 era. I have not been able to find any information on these items. What do you suppose they are worth? Thank you for your time. Thanks, Aaron
I was wondering is this is red wing?It is 5 inches tall and 3 1/2 wide.It says U.S.A. 845 on the bottom.Thanks?How much is it worth and is it rare?
