Question:
Good Afternoon, We have a piece of stoneware we believe to be Red Wing but we’re not sure. The piece has no chips or cracks, some discolor spots but otherwise in very good shape. Can you help? Thank you for your time and consideration. Ron

Answer: Ron, you have a 6 gallon salt glazed leaf crock which was most likely manufactured by the Minnesota Stoneware Company in Red Wing Minnesota. It is considered a Red Wing piece of stoneware. It is a very nice looking piece and as always very collectible among the Red Wing collectors. Your 6 gallon crock was most likely manufactured between 1883 and 1894. Al Kohlman
