Cherry Band pitcher with Webster, Wis. advertising

Question:

I have a Red Wing pottery Cherry Band pitcher with “Souvenir of Webster, Wis.” on it.  There are no markings of any kind on the bottom.  (Pictures attached)  Any idea of its age/value?

I contacted the Webster Chamber of Commerce but they didn’t know anything about it.

Answer:

Joan, these Red Wing advertising pitchers first appeared in the Red Wing Stoneware catalog in 1916. The majority of these advertising pitchers were given away by Grocery, Dime Stores & even Coop’s of the town printed on them during the holidays to their better customers.  Value today on these advertising Cherry Band Pitchers is around $350 or so if in perfect condition.  Al Khlman
