I am attaching a photo of a Red Wing Crock I found. I wanted to know if you could give me any more information about it. (Age, value, what is it used for?)
It is marked:

Bottom marked with Red Wing Stoneware Co.
Thank you,

Answer:
Patricia, you have a rare one here. It is a Red Wing salt glazed advertising piece that was produced between 1877 & 1895. If it were in perfect condition, the value would be around $5,000 or so. With hairline crack and chips, I think $2,500 to $3,000 is a safe bet! Nice find. Al Kohlman
