Question:
Hello. I read a question similar to mine, but wondered if we had the same thing. I have a large crock (says 20 on front) also has a beautiful butterfly on it. It is stamped on the lower side saying, Red Wing Stoneware Company. This is all I know about it. Can you tell me anything more?? Lindsey

 

Answer: Lindsey, you have a Red Wing Salt Glazed Butterfly that is what we call side-stamped. This crock was manufactured between 1867 & 1895. If in mint condition the value would be around $3000 in today markets. Nice Find! Once in a millon. Al Kohlman
