3-4 Gallon Imperial jug

Question:
Hi there,I purchased a stoneware jug today that I wonder if it was made by Red Wing. The jug appears to be a 3 0r 4 gallon.It has a salt glazed top and is marked with a small blue "IMPERIAL" at the top and a 3 inch circle that has a 4 quadrets each with a letter in each,The top has a "B",the next in the 3 o’clock postion is a "C",6 o’clock postion is a "W" and in the 9 o’clock postion is a "D". I think it is a Red Wing jug but it has no other markings.Please let me know what you think.I am also so curious of what the contents might have been. Thanks for now,Rod in sunny Manitoba

 

Answer: Rod, from your description, your 3 or 4 gallon jug does not appear to be Red Wing. If you could send a photo, I could tell you for sure. thanks Al Kohlman
