Question:
Hello, I have a small pottery pot with the following raised label on the bottom: Red Wing USA. 508 It is 9 inches in diameter and 6 1/2 inches high. The inside of the pot is cream colored and the outside is tan color with what I view as a raised basket weave design. For example, the bottom third has raised rings, the middle portion has various sized groupings of vertical, horizontal, and square raised patterns. The top portion has more rings. It’s a pretty little pot my mother had given me and am wondering if you happen to know by the description if it is really red wing pottery and if so, when was made. Thanks! Mary Burke
Answer: Mary, It is a Red Wing item. It was designed in 1962, this one may be a little later. The glaze sounds like cocoa brown. There were 3 sizes, with this being the smallest. Value is around 30.00. thanks, steve n rose
I recently dug this albany slip 5 gallon beehive jug. I am not familiar with the stencil style of 5 impressed in the glaze. It is hand thrown and size, shape, neck, and handle are very close to my Red Wing beehives. Can you help me with the maker? Thanks! Kevin
I have 2 blue vases with the number 899 stamped on the bottom. They are approx. 7 1/2 inches tall and fan shaped at the top. See picture.
I am hoping you will have some information about a bowl I have. It appears to be a very early Red Wing Stoneware Co. brown crockery glazed bowl. The entire bowl is glazed crock brown with an unglazed rim & edge under the band as shown. It is 7 1/2" across at the top, 4" high. There is a pontil mark in the centre inside of bowl. Glazed bottom rim has 3 indentations. It is in great shape except for one small chip on the bottom as shown in the picture. The only mark is RWSCo hand etched into the bottom under the glaze. I have searched the web for years and never found one quite like it. Thanks for your help!
