Red Wing 1215
Question:
(RED WING USA 1215) I found this pc along with some Hull and Roseville pottery while cleaning out our grandmothers home in Utah a few years ago. Unfortunately, there’s no one left in the family to tell us where she got them – she traveled all over. I appreciate any information you can share with me about this piece. Is it original? Is it worth anything? As far as I can tell, it’s in good shape…there is a very small chip on the top rim . Thank you very much for your time! – Jamie
Answer: Hi Jamie, it was made in Red Wing, MN, although she could have picked it up most anywhere. It dates to about 1946, part of the Magnolia line. Value around 45.00 with the small chip. thanks, steve n rose
Cherry Band Pitcher with no advertising
Question:
Hello: I recently bought a 9 1/2′ cherry band pitcher at low cost of suspect authenticity. It appears to be a Redwing advertising piece without any advertising. But there is no mark! Is this a reproduction or authentic? I have some pictures of the real deal and it appears to be looking the same. How can you spot a fake? I can have my husband send a picture later if needed. Thanks! Cynthia

Question:
I found a small picther at a consignment store. It is 7 in high, and a bit over 3in wide. It is cream colored with brown and bone colored rings. The design in the center around is orange and brown "tulip like". I have identified the handle like some other red wings on line, but not the pattern. On the bottom is red wing- usa. This piece looks new. Can you tell me the name, date and ? the value. Thanx, judy

I was at an estate sale and purchased a Iris pitcher(large size). It looks like who ever had it painted it white as the paint is chipping and it is green under it. What colors did they come in? How would I beable to get the paint off without harming the original finish. I am assuming it is glazed under the paint. Thanks Joe
