Question:
My brother in law has a 12 gallon butterfly collection Red Wing salt glaze crock. It is in perfect condition. I can not find one any where. Can you help us to find a value of this piece? Thanks, Heather-Lime Springs Iowa

Answer: Heather, you do not mention if the 12 gallon Red Wing Butterfly is signed or not. So I will give you a value both ways. Unsigned $1000 to $1400. Signed, $1500 to $2000. Value will be determined on how dark and well drawn the butter fly and if signed, a front signature is valued more by collectors than one which is back stamped. Hope this helps. Al Kohlman
