3 gallon salt glaze beehive jug

Question:
This is the jug that we were wondering if you thought it might be Red Wing that must not have gone through in our previous e-mail. Thank you!

 

Answer: From what I can see of your 3 gallon beehive, it looks like it could be Red Wing. However, the number 3 does not resemble the 3’s you see on Red Wing pieces. When I see the bottom of the number 3 filled in like yours, it leads me to believe that the piece could be from Ohio. Send me a photo of the back side of the jug so I may see how the base of the handle is attached to the jug. Thanks Al Kohlman
