Thank you, Heather
Answer:
Heather, Red Wing perfection self draining jar of this size are hard to display and take up quite a bit of space. Therefore, there is not a huge demand for them with most collectors. If there is no damage on the crock, it’s value would be in the range of $500.
– Thanks Al Kohlman
Could you please give me some info on this crock, any info you may have on it would be appreciated. It is stoneware I have no idea if it is salt glaze or otherwise. I know that it is older than the hills and would appreciate any assistance you are able to give.
The wing mark measures 4 inches in length to the tip of the wing and 2 inches in width. No apparent marks anywhere on the jug other than the red wing at the front.
– thanks, Nancy
