Question:
I bought some RedWing Lute Song dinnerware at a sale and there are 2 small pieces that I can't identify in the box. I was wondering if anyone could help. They are garlic shaped? or onion shaped pieces that appear to pour (if the pour spout is situated on top, it looks like an onion and the pour spout is the stem). They are about 3 inches across. There isn't a lute on them like the other pieces, but they are the same color. I looked on replacements and a few other sites but can't find this piece. The reverse says "red wing potteries, redwing minn" in a triangle. Is it lute song? They kind of remind me of a spoon rest. Any assistance appreciated. thanks Sharon H.
Answer:
Sharon, You have two individual ashtrays. Red Wing made them in various colors to accompany the 8 patterns in the True China shape, of which Lute Song was the best selling pattern. These ashtrays are fairly common but still very interesting. The triangle-shape mark you describe was used only on these ashtrays, not on any other piece to my knowledge. Value for your ashtrays in excellent condition would be around $20 each.
I've never seen an ashtray with the Lute Song design; most likely they were not handpainted because the piece is too small to hold much artwork. But that doesn't necessarily mean they don't exist. I have photos of two True China ashtrays in the Merrileaf pattern, and am quite sure I've seen them in at least one other pattern.

Question:
My Daughters family of 6 house burned compleatly to the ground. She inherited from us a 106 peice set of "orleans" pattern of Red Wing potters. all in mint condition. A service for 18 cups, saucers, dinner plate, salad plate,sauce dish. A sugar and creamer,1 tea pot,2 med &1 lg Platers,4 small dishes w/lids,2 sets salt and pepper shackers, 2 serving bowls.Need value for insurence. All brocken and blackened by fire, Thank you, ASP/Jan C.
Answer:
Jan, Thank you for providing a thorough description of the Orleans collection. I can readily provide an estimated value based on the information you've given. Book value for this collection is around $2000, assuming all pieces are in excellent condition. This figure would be considered replacement or "retail" value. In other words, what one could expect to pay an knowledgeable antique dealer to purchase such a large set. This is not the same as the value a potential seller of such a collection should expect to realize. Thanks Larry

Question:
I am wondering what the price of Hearthstone orange dinnerware is selling for. I have 8 dinner plates, 8 large and 8 small bowls, and 4 cups. I also have 2 serving platters. It is from the late 70's early 80's. Orange with a brown rim. Thanks so much! Thanks Sara T.
Answer:
Sara, The Hearthstone Orange and Hearthstone Beige patterns were made by Red Wing for Sears stores. These patterns were made for only about one year, from mid-1966 until Red Wing Potteries closed in 1967. They are two of the six patterns made in the Ceramastone shape. Due to the short production time none of these patterns is very common, but they also don't seem to be very popular with collectors. Assuming excellent condition, dinner plates are worth around $10, small bowls $5, large bowls $10, cups $5, and platters $15. Larry

Question: 
A neighbor of my parents passed away and his children were putting items they thought might be of interest on the lawn for people to take. I picked up this teapot because I thought it looked interesting. I knew nothing about Red Wing, but noticed the name on the bottom. I believe it is the "Two Step" pattern. Any idea on a value for it? Thanks! Stephanie W.
Answer:
Stephanie, Your teapot is indeed from the Two Step pattern. It was made around 1960 and is not an easy piece to find. In excellent condition the value would be in the range of $50 to $75. Larry

Question:
My friend has a set of Red wing dinnerware- Futura 1955 pattern Tampico.(Watermelon) She has a meat platter, gravy boat, cups and saucers, plates, salt and pepper shaker, sugar bowl and creamer- approximately 30-40 pieces in total. She is wondering what the estimated value would be on this collection? Thanks Nancy H.
Answer:
Nancy, It's difficult to answer your question because you've given only a partial description and an estimate of the number of pieces involved. I also need to know the condition of the items to make an accurate estimate. Assuming most of the pieces are common plates, bowls, cups, saucers and the several accessory pieces you mentioned, this lot would probably be worth in the range of $100 to $250. Value depends greatly on condition and just exactly what pieces are included. Larry
