Question:
I recently purchased 4 bean pots from a local thrift store. They are about 4″ high and about 5″ in diameter. Each is a different color:  Blue, Yellow, Orange and Turquoise.  Only the blue pot is marked “REDWING” on the bottom and it is very faint. They appear as if they have never been used. They yellow pot’s glaze has some minor crazing.  Attached is a picture, can you please tell me about them?

Question:
Hello,
I recently inherited a collection of dinnerware with the pattern number 435 on the back. The art appears to be white and red peppers. I have searched the web and have been unable to find this number or a picture that resembles this pattern. Can you tell me anything about it?

Question:
This jug was my mother’s and is in very good condition. It has only one chip – on the inside of the top. It is beige with a hen on the front. The base (which I guess is to hold a candle?) has little chicks around it. The chicks and hen are brown with light blue accents. It is about 16 inches tall, with all 3 pieces, as shown in the attached picture. Helen

Question:
I have a Red Wing handled cooking pot with lid that I know nothing about. It is in great shape and the opening is about 6 1/2" in diameter and stands approx. 3 1/2" in height. No cracks, breaks or chips. Few flaws around the inner rim. In some light it looks to be a greenish color and in some a dark grey. I am looking for the age, proper name of stoneware, color and possibly a value. Actually, any info appreciated. Thanks in advance! Karen

Question:
My mother was raised in Red Wing, MN and I have one piece from her that has been in the family since the 1950’s. It is a cookie jar, shaped as a old Italian chef. He is pink in color with navy blue shoes, chef hat and tie around his neck. We’re having a garage sale and would like to know if it’s worth hanging on to or having it appraised. It looks like a glazed ceramic piece. I looked for numbers but can’t find any. The only marking says: Red Wing USA Thanks, Michelle

Question:
Hello Larry, First, just wanted to thank you for this excellent service, it’s been a real help as I have begun to collect Red Wing pottery. I’m a big fan of the Cylinder dinnerware line, and have collected a fair amount of Pompeii and Pepe, many of which I use and enjoy daily. I also have a couple pieces of Desert Sun, and I was curious if you know why the plates of Desert Sun have a different shape than those of the rest of cylinder. They have more of a raised, extended border, whereas the rest of the series seem to just come to a raised edge. Also, speaking of cylinder, it seems that Turtle Dove is a less-collected pattern perhaps. What would be a value estimate for a turtle dove beverage server? Thanks! Zack

One day a friend noticed it up on my plant t in my kitchen and said she recently saw it online. Is this a special addition or a valuable piece? Its valuable to me is it reminds me of the smell of warm cookies baking in my Nanny’s kitchen! ;) Cindy
