Cemetary Pots, brown glaze
Question:
Any chance these brown slip glazed tan base clay stoneware wall pockets are a Red Wing product. No markings. They are 10 inch tall and 5 1/4 inch diameter. Thank You Jeff S
Answer: Hi Jeff
these are cemetary pots, put in the ground, and used to hold flowers. Red Wing did make such an item, but these have a different design. Not sure who the maker is. thanks, steve n rose
question from: laker@valornet.com
Question:
With respect to the Red Wing chamber pot, I neglected to mention that the hairline crack is approximately two inches in length and is on the top of the chamber (the part into which the lid fits). Does that still limits its value to the number you quoted.
Thank you.

Red Wing ashtray- hobby shop piece
Question:
I have a redwing ashtray shaped like a wing that is white or ivoey with gold swirled everywhere.. MOstly gold just some white shining through. sides are completely white no gold. bottom is not glazed and reads:red wing potteries U.S.A. and has 273 penciled next to USA. Can you please give me some insight on date of manufacture and value.. Thanks alot. K.p.I can send a pic if needed. McKinney
Answer: got the pics, thank you
the wing ashtray was made around 1953. Looking at the pics, I think this one was done after red wing closed, the glaze just doesn’t look right. molds were sold after the factory closed, we call them "hobby shop" pieces. So it wasn’t glazed at Red Wing. this one will probably be worth around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

I have a vase/pitcher..dark yellow in color, about 12" high.

This was my grandmothers, and I always thought the initals "eb" were for her..esther barbara. Thanks! Jill
Answer: Hi Jill
this is a hobby shop item, done after Red Wing closed, in 1967. Molds were sold or remade by hobby stores, and glazed by other’s, this is probably glazed by your Grandmother, with the date and initials. The original shape was part of the Bronze line, from 1965. hope this helps, thanks, steve n rose
