Driftwood Serving Platter

Question:
Hello. I have a piece of Redwing Pottery with the Driftwood design on it. It is a rectangular dish with a slanted base. We do not know when it was made, what it is called, what it was made for. It’s dimensions are 10 1/2 inches long by 7 inches wide. Even though it has a rectangular form, it’s outside line is indented on each end and side, plus it has rounded corners. It’s a very nice dish. The sloped style makes it hard to use as a serving piece, anything slick or slippery will not stay on. Could you give me an idea what it’s name and use is, and possibly it’s value? Thank you so much! Jennifer Zelhart P.S. It was found at a thrift store and purchased for $0.50.

4 gallon reverse oval

Question:
I came across this piece of stoneware at a garage sale in TX about 8 years ago. I am by no means a collector, and am actually looking at selling this piece. It’s about 12 inches high, by 12 inches wide. It has a small hairline fracture, that doesn’t go all the way through the piece. It’s pictured underneath the markings. It has rusted metal handles. On the right hand side, underneath one of the handles, it says "Patented December 28 either 1916 or 1956, I think. It’s hard to read the year. On the bottom of the piece is a faded numer 14. It’s in very good condition. I appreciate any information you can give me about this piece. Hopefully I can part with it and put it in the hands of someone who truly values this type of stoneware. Thank you Michelle

2 gallon birch leave crock

Question:
I haven’t ever seen a Red Wing pot that was irregular. This old crock has two large dents in the clay. The bottom has Minnesota Stoneware Co Red Wing Minn hand written around the base. It is obviously damaged but I thought that it was a very unique piece with the flaws and purchased at an auction in Zumbrota MN for $15. Would this pot been sold this way originally or would it have gone home with one of the employees for free because of the flaws? Is it worth anything? Thanks for your time, Susie
