Red Wing Sewer Pipe

Question:
After a rather cursory look at the website, I didn’t find any information on the sewer pipe made by Red Wing. I found a rather large piece (about 2 feel long and 1 foot wide) of stone glazed sewer pipe in the bush while on a hike, and it was stamped "Red Wing". I was wondering on an age range. Sandi

 

Answer: The sewer pipe was made in the late 1800s and was produced in Red Wing until the 1970s

Red Wing bowl with gemetric shape

Question:
Hi there, I work at a luxury consignment store in Chicago, and one of our consignors brought in a pottery piece that she said was Red Wing. The piece is a yellow glazed pot/planter with 3 decorative indentations and 3 triangular designs. It also has a "cracked" finish/look on the exterior. There is a faint blue stamp on the bottom that looks like it reads Red Wing Art, but I can’t read what is underneath (maybe numbers). The number 175 is engraved on the bottom as well. If you need additional photos, please let me know. Any information on this piece would be helpful. Thank you in advance. Best, Kate

 

Answer: Hi Kate

it is red wing, some of the earlier artware they did. Dates to around 1930 or so. The crackle in the glaze is normal. Value is around 70.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

The diameter of the base is about 11 inches, and the height is about 17 inches. It is quite heavy. It didn’t come with a lid. Barb

Driftwood Collection

Question:
I recently was given a set of Red Wing dishes in the driftwood pattern. Due to the lead in the glaze, we are interested in learning the value of the pieces. We have 8 11" dinner plates, 2 8" salad plates, 8 6.5" Side plates, 1 serving platter, 1 casserole w/ intact lid, 1 divided serving dish, 1 undivided serving dish, 8 coffee cups w/ saucers, 8 bowls, 2 serving bowls, 1 sugar dish w/ lid, and 1 set of salt & pepper shakers. The only flaws we have found are: a coffee cup had a broken handle that was glued back together, and a plate had a chip out of the edge. I took pictures of the set and of the flaws, but do not have access to them at the moment. Thank you for your input! Perry
