Question:
Hi Larry: I’m the one who submitted a question about the unmarked/stamped Tampico butter dish and was concerned it was a "reject." Red Wing’s marking process for dinnerware continued to confound me as there did not seem to be any rhyme or reason.

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide an enlightening and in-depth explanation. Wow…I am really impressed! Going forward, I now feel more knowledgeable and confident about buying unmarked/stamped pieces to add to my budding collection. Unfortunately, I live in CT, where Red Wing is about as easy to find as an Eskimo. So have mercy on me! Thanks again for sharing your expertise! Best regards, Luanne

Question:
I purchased a set of dishes at a yard sale that read: REDWING pottery handpainted #1102. The dishes are cream color with a magnolia type flower,with light green leaves and some brown accent by the flower. It consist of :

6 plates, bowls, cups, saucers, dessert bowls
3 serving bowls
large platter,
sugar and creamer
salt and pepper.

In brown color are:
coffer server
tea pot
gravey boat
a bowl with handle and lid
small serving dish with handle

Some of the handles are broken and I am interested in replacing those items. The rest of the set is in good condition. Can you tell me anything about these dishes. The couple that sold it are in their 80′s. The woman said she lent the dishes to her daughter and when they were returned the parts were damaged. thanks Elida

Question:
Greetings, I recently inherited a lovely set of village green dish ware. As the story goes, my great-grand parents took my grandmother and her husband to Redwing to buy the set as a wedding gift.

There are no markings on the bottoms of the plates or any of the set, so I’m trying to date it and also know for certain that it is indeed Redwing. I would like to use the dish set but also have concerns about lead content.

My questions are two:

Can it be official Red wing pottery without any stamping?

Does any one know if they are safe to use, and lead free?

thank you for your time! Kathleen

Question:
Hi: When I first started collecting pieces of Red Wing dinnerware, I acquired a Tampico butter dish (top w/bottom) in great condition, but there are NO MARKINGS. I also collect Franciscan ware and learned that they did not mark/stamp items that did not pass inspection. Could it be that I acquired a reject, or did Red Wing not backstamp many of their smaller dinnerware pieces? Luanne

Question:
I have a piece I am not positive how to describe. It is of the sunflower and wheat pattern. It has two handled "teapots" one atop the other. It has a strainer that lays within the lower pot. The pattern is only on the upper portion. I have only seen the lower portion offered as a "teapot" on line($48.00). I do not believe it is a teapot. The two pieces together stand around 15 inches or so. I dont think the top has a spout. I am going from memory here as my ex will not return it and has been in the family for years. I am looking for a value that I can turn over to my lawyer. Of course dollars will never replace the family value. Hoping you can help me. Thanks so much Susie Snider
