5 pound Red Wing saffron ware butter pail

Question

I recently acquired this and am unable to find any other than 3 pound. Is this a rare size? Terrence

Answer

Terrence, I wouldn’t call a 5 pound Red Wing saffron ware butter pail a rare size.  These butter pails used the same mold as the gray line ware.  They are always kind of a tough fine, but not rare.   $400 to $500 with lid and in perfect condition.  Al Kohlman
