Question:

Attached are pictures of my 10 gallon jug and a 20 gallon transition crock. I would like to know if the jug is Red Wing and what is the value of the transition with the back stamp.

Thanks
Bob

Answer:

Bob, if your 20 gallon Elephant ear back stamped crock is in perfect condition, the value today is between $2000 & $2500.  Now your 10 gallon salt glazed beehive (I own the exact one you have photo’d here is not Red Wing.  I believe it is an Ohio piece, but could be Western also. Cobalt decorated beehives in the 10 gallon size are rare to say the least.  I have mine valued at $3000 if that helps.   Two very nice pieces.   Al Kohlman
