Red Wing 505 and 1348

Question:
I actually have 2 pieces I’d love to know about. The first is a vase, measuring 7 1/2" tall, green outside and pink inside, about 5" wide and marked 505, Red Wing USA. The mark was impossible to photo – very thickly covered with glaze. It has some crazing, mainly inside, but no chips or cracks. The 2nd is a low planter, gray outside and bright pink inside. It measures 12" x 8" x 2". This piece has a few usage scratches inside, and one small chip visible from the top. It is marked Red Wing USA 1348. I am including links to that one’s photos as it looks like I can only upload one here on your form. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/miragenet/rwbowl.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/miragenet/rwbowlchip.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h284/miragenet/rwplantermark.jpg Thanks so much for any information you can give me. Madeline

Elk in Forest Brushware Sand Jar

Question:
I have a A REDWING ‘ELK IN FOREST’ BRUSHWARE SAND JAR with embossed pattern. I see this on auction sites, but mine is multi color. All the ones I see are one flat color. Does that make it more valuable? I’m seeing the one color go for 3-5 hundred. Thank you! Valerie

Answer: Hi Valerie, Your’s could be made by someone other than Red Wing. RRP out of Ohio, made the same shape. They used some different glaze combinations. Red Wing’s are green, tan, and I have seen one in antique ivory. If it’s not bottom marked, it’s probably not Red Wing. The value is about half of what a true Red Wing lobby jar brings. thanks, steve n rose

Bob White collection

Question:
My niece has a red wing dinnerware set, (approximately 50 pieces) including two salt/pepper sets, a coffee pot, and some serving dishes. I do not have a picture, but the pattern has two birds, brown and blue, and some other accent decoration. The birds look like chicks or maybe baby grouse or some other wild bird. We would like to know the age and the pattern and a broad estimate of value, as she is thinking of leaving the set in a rental cabin, but not if it is of great value. I realize this is not much information, but would appreciate any help you could give. Thank you. Katherine Boivin
