Question: 
The pitcher has a blue shiny glaze with pink inside. I would appreciate any information about this piece you could send me. It has #1012 on the bottom.
Answer:
This is part of the Magnolia Line designed by Belle Kogan from around 1941. Value is about $50.00 in perfect condition with the blue glaze. The more common white (antique ivory) glaze is worth around $40.00 in perfect condition. thanks, steve n rose

Dear Steve and Rose
I’m hoping you can help me with a Rum Rill piece I found today while thrifting.
I’ve searched the web and found a couple like colored and style pieces but not this. When searching the mold number 705 it some sites simply say “missing 705.”
I would greatly appreciate your expertise and any help you can give me.
By the way it is in mint condition.
Warmly,
Jodi
Answer: it is 705, miscellaneous group, circa 1938. value around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I’m hoping this reaches you in time. I love the lion vases that Red Wing produced. I see in a previous article you valued the vase I have discovered at around $300 if in mint condition. The vase I have a chance to purchase has no flaws but crazing. It is also in the light green, 10 inches high. I was curious what the crazing would do to the value of the piece.
Answer:
The crazing in green is normal. It won’t change the value. Thanks, Steve n rose
Question: 
I checked earlier Ask the Experts questions, but the only information regarding this vase is for one in a Crystalized glaze. I’m just curious what a vase like this would be worth. I know it is Nokomis style. I just love the shape and colors of this glaze.
Answer:
It’s Nokomis glaze, shape #196, $300.00 or so would be a fair price in perfect condition. Nokomis is a glaze that can influence the price of a piece, thanks for the question! thanks, steve n rose

Question: 
Hello- have a Red Wing stoneware bird bath that I am curious about. Cannot find it in any Red Wing books or copies of catalogs. Any idea as to value. June
Answer: June you kind of have a mishmash of parts, the top is a birdbath bowl, the bottom is a pedestal for an urn, a completely different item. they date to around
1930. the broken pedestal is worth maybe 20.00, and the top of the birdbath, around 100.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
Question: 
HI STEVE, I am not sure if you answer emails like this, but a friend turned me on to this site, I do not often come across Red Wing, nor Rumrill.. But I enjoyed reading the letters to you and your answers..
Now for what I have, and cannot find out anything for sure..
I have a large planter or console bowl in the shape of a shell. I have attached photos if you want to take a look..
The shell is marked on the bottom with all letter reversed, LLIRMUR U.S.A and the number 505 backwards as well. Beisides the markings being backwards, some one also painted the bottom black, not sure for what reason.. I purchased this at an Country barn an estate of a couple that passed on and were quite well to do.. So did not think it was junk.. Attached see pictures, the dish is about 12″ long..
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Rochelle
Answer: That’s an odd one, I have no idea how its marked backwards. Its not a RedWing glaze or shape, so I’m not sure on a value. Thanks, Steve&rose
Information found by submitter later:
As written in RumRill book The Ohio Years 1938-1942
505 shell console bowl Neptune green 1942 Gonder made. 16″ long. $250.-300. They were finished in soft muted shades of green and tan, and their interiors were usually a high gloss pink finish. These large pieces also had an unusual charcoal black bottom—another sign of a Gonder-made RumRill. these unglazed bottoms were also sometimes numbered with a three-digit shape number, starting with the 500 series. These pieces were produced in late 1941 and 1942 at the Zane Pottery Company which later was renamed Gonder Ceramic Arts. Rare ash black bottoms had a distinctive reverse impressed mark. These pieces were made during the transition period when Gonder started producing RumRill Pottery.
