Flight Salad Bowl

Question:

Larry, I have a Red Wing Flight bowl that measures nearly 11 inches across. I haven’t seen this bowl listed as part of the collection and would appreciate more information about it. There is a blemish on the inside by the far left duck. 

Thank you
Mary

Answer:

The Flight salad bowl seen in the photo is a standard production piece, though it is scarce.  The Flight brochure lists this as a 10 inch salad bowl.  Red Wing’s listed dimensions were always approximate, not exact.  The Flight pattern was introduced in 1962 and was produced for two or three years. Flight has always been one of the most popular Red Wing dinnerware patterns, and values were sky high several years ago.  But the high prices brought a lot of Flight out of storage and the increased supply caused values to decline.  But the 10″ salad bowl is a tough piece to find.  I’d estimate the current value to be around $100, maybe a bit more to a serious Flight collector.

Thanks,
