2 gallon salt glaze crock

Question:
Hi! Found this crock at a thrift store and got it for really cheap. I believe it could be Red Wing, but the 2 gallon marking is slightly different than those I have seen in the past. It has the blue 2 with 2 slash marks underneath. It looks salt glazed and has a brown interior… Is this considered a salt glaze or an albany slip type crock? And its value would also be much appreciated! Thank you so much for your help!!! Kayle
