Question:
My grandfather used this 30 gallon crock at his cider press. It is in good shape with no cracks. I would love to get an estimate and any advice on the best channel to sell it through. I know that the shipping on it would be expensive as this thing weighs a lot! Thank you for your help. Karla

Question:
I found this ceramic jug in the back yard of a house I recently moved into. It’s about 18-20 inches from the floor to the spout and about 10 inches in diameter (I didn’t take exact measurements). It has a dark ceramic glaze on the top. There are no visible chips or cracks. It is stamped with a number "5" on it and another oval stamp that says "Red Wine, Oiterie Inc, Red Wing, Minn" It’s hard to read the company name on the stamp so I could be wrong on the spelling. Attached are pictures. I’d appreciate any input you have. Thank You! Marian

Question:
Hi Al, I am sending you a photo of the script on my #3 Minnesota stoneware oval crock, That you answered about yesterday.(blue stamping) I paid 95.00 for it and am very happy with your response! I know everybody scrawls on things occasionally at work, but have you ever seen this before? Must be production counts or something? I would think it would add to the interest. I hope it shows up at your end. Thanks very much…Craig

Question:
I have a Red Wing glazed inside and outside crock with wooden handles. Printed on the outside of the crock is a red wing picture stamp, a large blue 6, stamp that says patented December 21, 1915, and a stamp that says Red Wing Union Stoneware co. Red Wing, Minn. I’m sorry but I’m unable to send a picture of it. I found this in my mom’s basement and am currently making sauerkraut in it. Malinda

Question:
This crock and lid was my step fathers grandmothers. The lid appears to fit well. The crock itself is glazed with exception to the bottom. I don’t see any marks on the bottom. It has three stamps. The cobalt blue number 6, the red, Red Wing(About 4"), and the Red Wing, Union Stoneware Company, Red Wing, ????. oval, in the blue cobalt. It has an imperfection to the left of the stamps on the front, but it’s not actually a chip. It appears to just be a flaw from when it was made. There is one hairline crack in the glaze. The lid itself has 6 chips around the outer edge, and the inside of the lid looks to be in perfect condition. It has a wire handle(it may have had wood on it at one time.). It has a thick cobalt line around the top of the lid, and two thin cobalt lines that are on either side of the thick line. Below those is a thick line that appears rough, and without glaze or paint. I would like to know: Is the crock and lid an actual set? When were they produced? What condition would you say they are in? What is the approximate value of these? As well as any other pertinent information. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Amy Setelia, Creswell, Oregon

Question:
i found these at a garage sale and was really wondering about the one with the brick moulding, the pitcher is clearly marked red wing and i think it’s worth about $20, both are in absolute pristine condition. Some guy tried to buy the brick mould butter crock, he said it was very rare, i have not sold it and really want to know what it is, it is not marked any where i can tell. thanks suge

Answer: Your estimate for the value of the Village Green pitcher is accurate. I know nothing about the butter crock; perhaps our stoneware expert is familiar with this design.

Larry

will pass this onto our stoneware expert, but I do believe Red Wing did do a few of the "brick" pattern butters. thanks, steve n rose
