There is no one source that has attempted to catalogue the many thousands of different pieces that the Red Wing Potteries has produced over the years. Like everything on the secondary market, prices are based on what someone is willing to pay for a certain piece.

Two Red Wing pieces have sold for as high as $40,000.00 each. They were both early salt glaze pieces and they were very rare.

If you are interested in buying a value guide, see the books below. These books attempt to catalogue the many different pieces that Red Wing made in different eras. There are books that cover the stoneware era, a book that covers the dinnerware era, and a book that covers the art pottery era.
