Question:

I can not find this specific redwing stoneware anywhere.  I have found similar but the writing has been blue or colored. This one has black writing. just was curious on age and if it’s worth anything.

Answer:

The reversed oval birch leave churns are out there, they are just not as common as the others. Your churn with mint would have a value between $175-200. Dates around 1900. Thanks Cliff

Question:

Hello. I am wondering about the value of this 20 gal upside oval crock. It has a 6 inch wing. One small chip out of the handle, small 1 inch crack above the base on the outside. The markings are pretty strong. Thank you.

Jeb

Answer:  Jeb, Your upside down oval is unusual but they are out there. A 20 like this mint would be a $200 crock add $100 for a upside down oval. A line takes the value down $150-$200. Cliff

Question:

Attached you will find a picture of a crock that we have had floating around for a rather long time …. It is my hope that you may be able to tell me if it is an antique or not … if not, my husband wants to use it as a planter.

The dimensions are 15-3/4″ outside by 17″ high.  It appears to be about 20 gallon and I cannot find any stamp on it either side or bottom … the picture is all that I have to go on.  I am not even sure that it is a Red Wing or not.

Thank you for any information you may be able to provide.

Marlene

Answer:

Marlene, you have a North Star Stoneware Company 10 gallon primitive butterfly crock that was produced in Red Wing, MN.  The North Star Company when out of business somewhere around 1893 due to a depression.   It is a very desirable crock among the Red Wing collectors and if in perfect condition, can fetch anywhere between $800 & $1000. So tell your husband to go find another planter!!!!!!  Al Kohlman

Question:

If this is Red Wing, can you tell me an approximate age and value?

Thank you,
Nancy

Value of a 5 gallon North Star Company leaf churn in mint condition is between $350 & $400.

Question:

Hi, I just purchased this nice butter churn from a flea market in Pinetop Arizona.  There are no chips or cracks that I can notice.

The man thought it was pretty old, and I just really loved it. I looked up the design on the pottery , and found that it was made in

Minnesota, but I thought all Redwing pottery at the “redwing” logo on it. Could you please date this piece for me, and tell me what

it is worth. Thank You

WILLIAM IN MORDEN,MANITOBA.CANADA

Answer:

Hi, William – Your jug is definitely RW and tends to bring around $250-$300 down here in the states.  Sometimes I’ve seen them priced for more when dealers/collectors put them out for sale, but I rarely see them sell for any more than that.  They might bring more up in your area…you’d know better that I on that.

Here’s a pic of my King’s Old Country cooler and jug.  These are both 5 gallon pieces, however.  I don’t know what the 2 gallon jug was designed to sit on top of, as I’ve only seen coolers in the 5 gallon size.  They’re pretty rare.

Best,

Rick
