Question:

Hello, I found this piece of red wing saffron ware @ my local goodwill. I have searched the internet to help identify it, With no luck!

The piece is labeled RED WING SAFFRON WARE on bottom, Blue in color. It is 7-1/2″ tall, The widest width is 7-1/2″, The bottom is 5-3/4″, The opening at top is 4-3/4″, It has a lid, And the color is kinda yellow/creamy off white.

If you could identify it, Or any other information would be appreciated.

Thank you, Wayne

Answer:

Wayne, I don’t collect saffron ware, but have seen them around.  Your piece is most likely a canister for storing flour or sugar.   Al Kohlman

Question:

Could you please provide some info on the 3 gal Crock and lid in the attached photos

I believe the crock dates to between 1930-40’s? There is a small chip at the base of the crock which is the only damage

I’m not sure if the lid goes with the crock however it came to me with the lid, but it does not seem to fit quite right

Thanking you in advance

Answer:

Your 3 gallon Red Wing crock was produced between 1936 & 1947.  Value on just the crock is around $75 with the small chip.  The 3 gallon Red Wing daisy petal lid is the correct lid for this crock.  In perfect condition, the value on the lid is $125 to $135.   Al Kohlman

Question:

1.        Provide a detailed description of the piece (size, condition, decoration, markings, glaze). If you are asking about dinnerware please include the number of each piece in the place setting.
>>This is a large crock, in good condition (handles missing). On the picture there are markings on the front, but that is just dirt. The crock is completly intact. In addition to the marks visible on the front, there is a mark on the side but I did not note it (sorry!). I have been told my grandmother used this to make pickles on the farm in Iowa, perhaps in the 1930s? The piece is glazed. Again, aside from the missing handles this crock is gorgeous.

Answer:

If this 12 gallon Red Wing crock with the six inch wing is in perfect condition, the value would be between $150 & $175.   Al Kohlman

Question:

I was wondering about this crock it has the birch leaves but no other markings. I was wondering first of all is it Red Wing? And 2nd an approximate value?

Thank You 

Rob

Answer:

Yes, your 2 gallon birch leaf crock is Red Wing.  If your crock is in perfect condition the value is between $50 & $60.  Al Kohlman

Question:

Hi, could you tell me a bit about this please?

Thank you!! Amber

Answer:

You have a Red Wing 3 gallon butter churn (without lid) with the first Red Wing oval.  It was produced between 1909 & 1912.  I see there is a crack or hairline which runs down  the front of this churn.  These cracks, just kill the value.  $50 to $90.  Al Kohlman

Question:

Hi – I purchased this red wing crock this week-end in Minnesota and am very curious about it.  I have never seen a crock with a round circle versus an oval on the front of it.  Inside the circle it says Red Wing Union on the top, in the middle is Stoneware Co. and across the bottom is Red Wing, Minn.  Please let me know if this is a rarity or common to some year and a value you might think it is worth.  There is a hairline crack on the side and a small chip of the very bottom edge of it in the back – so it is not mint, but very displayable and holds water.  My name is Beth

Answer:

Beth, your Red Wing crock was produced between 1930 & 1947.  With the circle rather than the oval, this crock is much harder to find.  However, with the hairline, the value just keeps your piece below even that of the crocks with easier to find ovals.  Collector (especially today) want perfect.   Value, $30 to $35.   Al Kohlman

Question:

My son and I just completed working spring cleaning up and cutting grass for a elderly lady in Chisago County.

As payment she gave my son his 1st piece of Red Wing which is a 2 gallon crock and she gave me a bean pot.

The Two gallon Crock is Red Wing salt glaze double P and is marked on bottom Minnesota Stoneware Co Red Wing.

No Cracks, and the only flake chip can be seen on bottom right.

The bean pot 8.5 inches in diameter and is in perfect condition, no cracks nor chips.

The bean pot has an advertising inside, and says “Your Beans are Good our bargains are better, Scandia Mercantile Company”.

The bean pot has lid and there are no cracks, chips or flakes. 

What do you think the estimated value of both pieces?

Thanks.   Scott & Bryce

Answer:

Scott, & Bryce, it  looks like you were paid quite well.  The Red Wing salt glaze bottom signed 2 gallon crock has a value between $140 & $160 in the condition you described.

The second piece is not a bean pot.  It is a Red Wing advertising casserole.  In perfect condition with the lid and advertising, the value is between $100 & $120.   Al Kohlman
