Red Wing Stoneware Company Preserve Jars

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.

3 Red Wing Churn with no oval

Question:

Hello,

I just purchased this #3 Union Stoneware crock.  Can you give me information on this piece.  There is not , and it does not appear it ever had the blue stamp under the wing.

The wing itself feels like it has been embossed into the crock rather than stamped. Does the lid look like an original, or what an original would look like?  The lid has a chip on the interior rim, the crock has no chips or cracks.

Lastly, can you give me an idea of value?

Thank you for your time.

Barb

Answer:

Barb, Your 3 gallon butter churn has a value around $165.00. It has a lot of ink on it when they stamped the wing  that why it’s a little smudged and you can feel it. The lid is not Red Wing and goes on a crock.
