Question:
Hi. I have a question regarding the Anniversary Line of dinnerware, specifically Country Garden. I’m not sure who else to ask this question of, and you are the only contact name I have that might be able to direct me.
My question is: There are several different bowls: Cereal, Rim Soup, Sauce, Nappy and Buffet. The Red Wing Dinnerware price and identification guide doesn’t indicate the size of each bowl. If I see a bowl, how do I know which one I’m looking at? Is there a size guide?
Answer:
I am not aware of any reference guide or book that includes bowl sizes for Red Wing dinnerware patterns. That’s useful information, and over the years I’ve developed my
own list.
There were seven different bowls made for the Anniversary patterns. Here are the approximate diameters of those bowls:
Salad bowls (textured colored sides with no artwork)
Large: 10.5″
Individual: 5.5″
Decorated bowls:
Buffet:11″
Nappy: 9.5″
Rim Soup: 8″
Cereal: 6.75″
Sauce: 5.5″
Another clue to help differentiate the bowls is the hand painted design inside the
bowl. Larger bowls have more surface area and thus room for more art. For example, the Country Garden buffet bowl includes more leaves and flowers than the smaller bowls. Larry
