AUTHORBIO: Brenda Dollen is the author of two volumes, Red Wing Art Pottery, as well as Collector's Encyclopedia of Red Wing Art Pottery. Her "fever" for collecting Red Wing began with one planter left to her by her late mother. One day while looking at an antique store she saw a vase that resembled her planter, and learned it too was Red Wing. Not long after that purchase, she became a full-fledged collector. REVIEW: This book is an identification and value guide intended to help you identify a piece of Red Wing Art Pottery and given an average price you can expect to pay for the item. A history of Red Wing begins the book, as well as information on marks and shape numbers. Detailed color photographs make this book a must-have for collectors.

I love this book as a reference. Growing up in a border state of Minnesota redwing pottery was everywhere including our own home. While informative with great pictures ,it also brought back many pleasant memories of times gone by.
