Question:
Thank you for being available for help. Is this a Red Wing? Do you know the value? It is not marked where or who made it other then an impressed no. 5 . It is 12" high, 13" wide from the outer edge and 11" inside the opening. Has 2 cracks, but holds water. Handles are great. Thank you in advance for your help. Toni D

Answer: Toni, your 5 gallons salt glaze crock is not Red Wing. I don’t believe it was manufactured by any of the Wisconsin potters either. Therefore my best guess is an Ohio or Eastern piece of stoneware. With the two cracks, I would place the value between $50 and $75. Al Kohlman
