4 gallon salt glaze churn with butterfly decoration

Question:
I am interested in the value of this Red Wing piece. It is an unmarked 4 gallon butterfly with deep cobalt markings. It is 15 1/2" tall and has slight discoloration on the front and back as indicted in the picture. It is in excellent condition. I have seen a few 6 gallon but never another 4 gallon. Thanks for your help. Thomas

 

Answer: Thomas, nice looking butterfly! The staining and the ecomony will be what affects the value of your churn. Otherwise, quite a looker! $900 to $1000 in today’s market. Al Kohlman
