A Red Wing Spongeware bowl

This was in the cellar. A local antique dealer offerd me $20 for it 15 years ago.

Ugh... I loathe antiques dealers.

Well, a $20 offer for it 15 years ago, I estimate the bowl would have been worth $100 (or more) at the time, even more now, though price ranges for certain periods are tied to collector interest.

It's a very unique looking bowl and really pretty.

I looked on eBay, but of course, their prices are all over the place.

What sort of asking prices are you seeing for same or similar bowls?

@debodun I was interested in your bowl so I browsed and found some on Etsy and I found the following

I get the idea it's probably in the $50 to $80 range. Mine is in good condition.

It's lovely. Scored some vintage Roseville blue band bowls (not rare) at the Goodwill a few years ago. I left the biggest one there because I didn't have room for it and it was heavy! I paid under 10 dollars for the two I got. I love looking for vintage kitchen items, coffee mugs, etc. at thrift stores. Avoiding them right now however.

Oh! it's lovely! I have a Red Wing crock but it's just plain brown.
