Albany Slip Minnesota Stoneware Jug

Question:
My question is about my beehive jug. It has an Albany glaze. We found it on our farm while digging a ditch. It doesn’t have any cracks, but is has some glaze issues. The bottom is marked Minnesota Stoneware Co. Redwing, MN. How valuable is it and what is the age of this model? Thanks, Richard

 

Answer: Richard, your Minnesota Stoneware beehive jug was manufactured between 1870 & 1895. In mint condition the value is between $50 & $75. Al Kohlman
