Question:
Hello,
I have inherited 3 jars with lids with the marking RWSW on the bottom. Best I can tell these might be Red Wing Stoneware jars but they are not marked other than the RWSW on the bottom and a ‘2’ on two of the lid knobs. They are 5.5” high and 3 3/8” wide. Inside they have a round mark in the center bottom. Other than two lids having chips, they are in good condition.
The glaze is a white colored. I have attached a number of pictures to help with the identification.
Thank you for your expertise and help.
Mary
Answer:
These are preserve jars made by the Red Wing Stoneware Company(RWSW) marked on the bottom. Value around $40 with lids and with no damage.
