Question: {mosimage}
I have a bowl that I believe is from the Square Based Crackle Series. Stands 5.25" tall, bowl rim is 7.75" across, Brown mottled base and turquoise crackle bowl. Marked on bottom RED WING USA 1333. Can you tell me more about this: year made, designer, value? Thank you for any information you can supply, Thanks Jane

Answer:
Hi Jane, You are correct with the glaze. Crackle Turquoise W/Bronze, listed as a special glaze. The design was introduced in 1947, by Charles Mruphy, I believe. It’s value would be about $80.00. There are a pair of candleholders that go with the bowl. Makes a nice centerpiece. thanks, steve n rose

Can you tell me anything about this pot? Thank you. Sorry about the size, I’m not sure how to make it bigger. Thanks Bev

Answer:
Hi Bev, Your picture is fine, although a size for your flower pot would help! It is shape 445, and was made for several years, in many glazes. Believe yours is cypress green which would date it to 1959-60. The value would be around 20-25. thanks, steve n rose


Question:
I found a Red Wing piece which is numbered (1348). I was wondering about an approximate value it may have. It is in rather good condition but has some superficial fine cracks inside the piece.

I didn’t know anything about Red Wing till today and I’m fasinated by the history.

Your time and info is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Janet

Answer:
Janet, you have a low bowl, circa late 1940’s. Worth around 15-20. A fairly common shape. Red Wing has something for everyone–stoneware, dinnerware, and art pottery. A multitude of shapes and colors most people aren’t familiar with. Thanks, steve n rose

Question:
We discovered a five piece Red Wing Art Pottery condiment set (?) with the stickers still on all the pieces. It was a wedding gift in 1951. The four curved outer pieces are #1381, and the round inner bowl is #1380. In addition, we found a red wing stamped 75th Anniversary 1858-1953. It also appears to be brand new. Both items have been packed away for many, many years. Could you please help us with approximate value, and how we would go about selling the pieces to interested collectors. I would hate to see them just get lumped together with other pottery in an auction. Thanks for your help, Doug

Answer:
Hi Doug, The five piece set should bring around 70-80, lots of times a piece is missing. Red Wing did several pieces for the 75th anniversary, so I would need more info on that. Ebay is usually the best bet to sell, lots of our collectors watch it on a regualr basis. If it is a family piece I would keep it. I know you can’t keep everything, but we see very personal family history being sold at auctions all the time. thanks, steve n rose
