Question:
My mom has a wing ashtray with a topless Indian Maiden on it. The bottom of the ashtray says: Red Wing Potteries "Pretty Red Wing" USA. We’ve heard varying accounts on the number produced and values. Any insight you may have on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer:
Mark, the "Pretty Red Wing " ash tray was apparently manufactured for the 75th Anniversary of Red Wing Potteries, but was rejected as being to risque. The first accounts of this ash tray was that only 6 were ever made. We know this to be false as there are a number of them around and can be found for sale at times on ebay and the Red Wing conventions. These ash trays are valued between $325 & $375. Al Kohlman
