Hazel Butter crock

Question:
Would like to know any information and approx. value on this Hazel Butter Crock. It has 3 chips around upper rim and a chip on each side where the handle attaches, no cracks that I can see. I do not see Red Wing stamped anywhere on the piece. Does the smeared label take away from the value? Thank you in advance for your help. Julie

#848 Bowl, Belle Line

Question:
Good morning and thanks for this great service. I have a piece of Red Wing pottery marked # 848 on the bottom. It is a pedestal bowl, oval in shape ,8X10 inches by 4 3/4"in height. The interior of the bowl is a rich shiny gold color the exterior starts with a matte finish dark brown band approx.1 7/8" in width and slightly concave and then changes to a shiny gray brown embossed stripe to form the bottom of the bowl the pedestal finishes the bowl and is in a solid semi shiny gray brown matching the embossed stripe.The base is approx. 4 3/4" in diameter. the bottom of the base is marked Red Wing USA 848. As to condition there is a factory flaw on the stripe section which is a slight fading of the stripe in two places. On the bottom of the base there is a 3/16 x 1/4" very shallow defect not visible unless the bowl is turned over I hate to call this defect a chip as it does not seem deep enough but it’s there and I thought I should mention it. All in all a very nice piece very easy to look at. If you should require more photos let me know and I would be happy to send them

Answer: Hi

thanks for the pic, and great description. This piece is from the Belle Line, done in 1963. Value is around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose.
