Tan/Cream pot with 3 and flowers

Question:
While in Little Falls a friend of ours found some interesting items with a metal Detector. While homing in on a target they stumbled upon a Union Stone Company pot labled Red Wing. at the rim of the pot is a fancy hand painted number (3) three. What dose that mean? the pot is flat bottomed, 12" across, with blue flower print on a tan/cream colored peice. We would just like to know what time period this was made? because we came across and old jar as well. Thanks, Mitch

Minnesota State Fair mini jug

Question:
I am wondering if this little miniature jug I have is made by Redwing, what time period, and what it might be worth? It is about 3" high, 1 7/8" across the base and says Minnesota State Fair on the front. Has a shiny glaze, applied handle, no markings on the bottom, unglazed bottom. There is a raised "lip" all the way around the middle where the colors meet. Photos are enclosed. Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Susan Perlman
