The teapot’s lid or top portion is a woman’s face,bib and billowy sleeves.Her hands are holding onto the bottom portion which appear as a billowy skirt and the tea pot’s handle and spout. It is approx 8" tall and 9" wide. Thank you. Rebecca

Question:
I just purchased this crock from an antique show, and I’m wondering if it’s actually a Red Wing product or a fake? It’s a 4 gallon crock, the wing is a little less than 2 inches, and the oval seems to say "Fatteries, Inc" though it could be a poorly written "Potteries, Inc." The man who sold it to me also mentioned that the lip flared out more than other Red Wing crocks. Thanks for your help! Krista

Question:
We have a #1144 nude with lyre. She has whitish hair and lyre while her robe is an electric blue. I have no photo at this time but the only flaw is a tiny chip off the sharp corner of the base down under her left hand. I have been told it is valuable and wonder if your organization has a convention with an auction. Or do you think eBay is the place for this lovely piece? Could you give me a range of value. Thank you so much for your time and effort. Jane
Answer: Hi Jane
This is a Murphy design, from 1942, the Engobe pieces are always sought after. We do have several auctions during our summer convention in July, and ebay works to sell rarer items as well. Value is around 500.00, but it’s hard to say what it will actually bring, auctions are fickle… thanks, steve n rose

I have an 8 gal, Red Wing water cooler, complete with a metal stand. The wing measurement is 4", the cooler is 18" tall. It is in excellent condition with the exception of the lid – it has a crack that has been repaired and a piece missing from the edge. The crock itself has both handles, and a spout – there are no visible markings. I would like to know the approximate value and how I can go about selling it. I acquired it from a country school (The Starr School) in Stoughton, WI. Thank you so much for the information. Rose
