Question:
On page 158 of RED WING POTTERS & THEIR WARES by Gary and Bonnie Tefft is a large poster showing Stoneware and Stoneware Specialties. One item is Boston Bean Pots in FIVE sizes with largest being two gallon. I’ve dabbled with Red Wing for 30 years and have never seen a two gallon brown and white bean pot. Does such exist? Also printed is 23 ounces. That does not make much sense as the smallest of the five (one quart) holds 32 ounces of liquid. Possibly just a typo. Thank You Jim

Answer: Jim, I have looked up the poster on page 158 of Red Wing Potters and Their Wares. I seen the Boson Bean pots in the five sizes listed with the largest being 2 gallons. Not being a bean pot collector unless there is advertising on it, I can say that I have ever seen a 2 gallon brown & white bean pot (not to say that there isn’t one). However, the poster is a reprint of the original poster and therefore there should be no typo on Gary or Bonnie Tefft’s part. Wish I knew more on this subject. Al Kohlman
