Question:
Hello – I have two Redwing vases. One is pale blue exterior, pink interior, USA, 82107, and the other is beige speckled with a 75 year anniversary sticker for years 1878-1953. Could you please let me know what these two vases are worth? Thank you so much for your help!
Answer: Hi, the blue on is B 2107, from Belle Kogan’s Textura line, circa 1950. It has a vlue of around 55.00 or so. The brown is a 404, circa 1953, value around the same. thanks, steve n rose
Question:
This butter churn was handed down from our grandparents. It stands 16 3/4 high. diameter of top is 9 1/2, It holds 5 gal of water. It has the wooden churn paddle which is 34" long. The bottom of the paddle is 2 crossed pcs. of wood 5" diameter. The stoneware lid is missing but there is a pc of wood in its place. The shaft of the paddle shows wear. There are 4 hairline cracks at the base of churn and 7 stains. There are no marking on the bottom, just signs of wear. If you have any questions or would like more photos please feel free to email us. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Rebecca Hansen

Question:
My wife and I have been collecting the Blue and also the Red versions of pieces from the Anniversary line. But is there any list of exactly what was made in this line so we know what else we need to be looking for?
Answer: The shapes 2300 thru 2319, were designated for the overlay glazes, as well as the Oxford-black/white stipple. there may be a few exceptions, as always with Red Wing, but that should cover most of them. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Just before Christmas, we attended a local auction which had several pieces of stoneware listed. Most of it was generic "stuff" but a three gallon salt-glaze piece with a drop eight caught our attention and our final bid. Although unmarked, I do think it is a "Red Wing" piece. The two gallon it is pictured next to is a bottom marked Minnesota Stoneware. I don’t know a lot about salt-glaze, but to my untrained eye, the glaze and the cobalt of both crocks are the same. The handles look "right"…will send a picture of one in a separate post since I can only post one pic. now. What do you think?

Question:
Greetings Al, I would like a minute of your time and knowledge. I have come across this 6 GL S/G Churn and would like any and all info you could provide. The Cobalt is bright and bold which you can see in the pictures, has some condition issues around the bottom which appears something as eaten away the glaze. The handles don’t look like any S/G I have or am familiar with, they are really molded into the sides, kind of flat and rounded. Just doing my homework before we go any further. As always I thank you in advance for your time. -Paul
