Question:
I have a Red Wing Pottery vase. It is green (mint) in color and stands approx 12 inches tall and has a face molded into both sides and a number on the bottom 251, could you tell me how to find out more about it
and what it might be worth? Mary G. 

Answer:
Hi Mary Your “face” vase is an example of early Red Wing Art Pottery, circa 1931. Most likely the glaze is crackle green or light green. A very desirable item, it is worth around $800.00 or so, in mint condition. Thanks, steve n rose

Question: {mosimage}
I have two pieces of Red Wing Art ware that aren’t in my Warman’s book on Red Wing Pottery. The first is a low console bowl 15"long and 7" wide marked #461 (in green). The second is a speckled pink pedestal candy bowl 4.5" high with a 7" bowl diameter marked #1548. The console bowl looks very old. Both are in excellent condition. Any idea on the age/value of these two pieces? Thanks and have a great day.

Answer:
Hi Carol, Your pieces date from the late 50’s-early 60’s. They are fairly common pieces, worth around $20-25 each. Thanks, steve n rose

Question:
We were given a mustard yellow 6" flower pot with a raised acorn and oak leaf motif which has a circular stamp on the bottom that says Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. Red Wing, Minn on the bottom. I have been unable to find anything that resembles it on websites and am curious about its age and value. Thank you. thanks Marcia B.

Answer:
Marcia, Your "flower pot" is shape #173; from Red Wing’s early art pottery line. It was made in the early thirties, and the glaze is "yellow". The value would be around $70-90 or so. Hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Hi, I am trying to get some info on a Red Wing Vase or Pitcher from the 1931 Catalog – 220 LGY BD. I have been searching for quite awhile and can’t find any info. It isn’t very pretty. The handle is a fish or a serpent – not sure which. The coloring is similar to the Magnolia pieces. I collect Red Wing stoneware and just have a few pieces of pottery. Any info you might be able to share would be appreciated especially a ball park value of this piece. Thank you. Pat H.

Answer:
Hi Pat, We don’t know who designed it, just that it was made for several years, and in lots of different glaze colors. Yours would be antique ivory. Its value is around $75.00 or so. Thanks, steve n rose
