Question:
I have this crock that I’m interested in knowing the specifics about. It is in good shape, no cracks or chips but there are some small blemishs that appear to be stoneware defects and the tip of one leaf didn’t stamp. According to your website the oval is considered the "Union" oval. What can you tell me about it? Janae

Answer: Janae, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 15 gallon zinc glazed birch leaf crock. it was produced between 1895 & 1906. Value is between $175 & $225 in perfect condition. Al Kohlman
