Question:
I was wondering about these serving pieces and bowls that were with my parents’ Pepe dinnerware set.
Are they Redwing, do they have a name, and what would their values be?
The small bowls are 5″ in diameter, the big bowls are 8 1/4″ in diameter.
The big bowls have a faint circular pattern around the 1″ rim.
The oval serving dishes are 6 1/2″ long by 4″ wide, 8″ by 4 3/4″ and 9 1/4″ by 5 1/2″. The medium and large size bowls do have the Redwing stamp on the back. They each have a fluted “wing” rim at each end.
The big oval plate is 11 1/2″ by 9 1/4″. It has a fluted pattern all around the rim.
The long {cracker ? pickle ?} boat is 15 1/2″ by 2 3/4″.
The plain free-form-shaped plate is roughly 10″ in diameter.
If you could pass these questions on to the experts, that would be wonderful.
Thank you, and best holiday wishes to you and yours!
With appreciation,
Sue
Answer:
All of the items shown in the photos were made by Red Wing.
The three oval bowls with fluted rims are Bakers from the Hotel or Restaurant line. Bakers were available in three sizes in either beige fleck or white. These bakers appear to be white.
All of the other items in the photos were glazed after production ceased at Red Wing Potteries. A fair amount of greenware (unfired pottery) remained in the plant after workers left in mid 1967. The remaining staff applied whatever glazes were on hand to the greenware. Beige fleck, the background color for Bob White and other patterns, is the glaze most commonly found on these end-of-production items. These beige fleck pieces were sold to the public in the Red Wing Pottery Salesroom.
The 8 1/4″ large bowl is from the Village Green line.
The 5″ small bowl is from the Like China line.
The long 16″ dish is a celery dish from the True China line.
The 10″ dinner plate is from the True China line.
The photos I received do not include a large oval platter, but the “fluted rim” in your description leads me to believe it is likely from the Hotel or Restaurant line.
Most of these pieces have a value of $10-15 if they are in excellent condition. The celery dish and the platter are worth $15-20.

Question: 
i have a 5 gal butter churn crock that has the stamp in the middle and the 4 inch red wing at the bottom. its the only one i have seen like this . what would be the reason for this? it is 15 in tall x 10.5 in mouth andy
Answer:
Andy, you have what is called a Red Wing reversed oval 5 gallon butter churn. Though not as common as most churns you see, they are not rare. It basically would have been up to the potter when they applied the stamps as I have never heard of these being a special order. Al Kohlman
Question:
Hi,
I recently purchased this salt glaze crock which I believe is a Minnesota/Red Wing piece.
I could not find one similar in the “Ask the Experts” pages in a ten gallon size.
It’s in excellent condition with only a small hairline on outside bottom edge that does not go through to the inside, and a 1/4 inch small flake on inside top rim.
The darker spots towards the bottom look much darker in the photo than they do on the actual crock.
I’m curious what its current value might be.
Thank You,
Cary
Answer:
Cary, your with the hairline on the bottom and small chip would have a value between $600 & $675 or so. Even though the hairline is small, it stills affects its value. Nice looking piece! Al Kohlman
