30 gallon Red Wing Stoneware Salt Glaze Butterfly Crock with stenciling

Question:

We have had this crock in our home for a number of years. We were wondering what this piece might be worth? Dave

Answer:

Dave, this is a tough one.  I have only seen one of these to date and never heard or seen one sell. Also, with the ecomony being so tight, there are only a few collector who may or may not have the kind of money it would take to pruchase this one.  My best thought on value would be $12,000 to $15,000 give or take a couple of thousand.  Extremely nice piece of early Red Wing.  Wish it were in my living room!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  al
