Blue cooler with grape decoration

Question:
Hi, I really appreciate your being available to answer questions. I found this water cooler at a New Jersey flea market and have been told it’s possibly Red Wing, but haven’t been able to find anything that looks like it, not only on your site but anywhere else. It’s about a 2 gallon cooler, lid missing, color: aqua or light green. If you recognize this, any information would be much appreciated. Thank you, Jean

Answer: Hi Jean

It’s not Red Wing. I’m not familiar with this piece. Wish I had a maker for you. thanks, steve n rose

Basket weave bowl, 916

Question:
I have this brown bowl that I have been able to find nothing on. It has the design of a basket weave and it has a strange shape, almost like someone grabbed the top of it and squeezed. There are some definite flaws on it that looks as though something happened during the firing process. Almost like the bowl touched the inside wall of the kiln. It measures 8x6x4.5. The bottom says Red Wing U.S.A 916. Can you tell me about this piece, along with the value? Thanks so much! Melody

 

Answer: Hi Melody

this shape does have a pinched in top, that’s normal. It’s from 1965. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Red Wing 418 console bowl, centerpiece B- 2503 Belle Kogan’s Deluxe line

Question:
the center piece of this is separate from the bottom. they are not attached. I am wondering if they belong together. I bought them together. the bottom dish is 12.5" x 9.25". It has applied leaves on each end for decoration. It is marked Red Wing USA #418. The center piece is 9.75" tall. It has a gold sticker on it that says Red Wing Art Pottery. Do you have an estimate of what they would be worth. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Diane

 

Answer: Hi Diane

they are from the same timeframe, same glaze, but they aren’t a match. The centerpiece is from Kogan’s Deluxe line, shape # B2503, there are different console bowls that match this item. The 418 is a console bowl, but for a different group. Value for both is around 125.00. thanks, steve n rose
