Question:
Hi- My mom recently passed away and left a nice collection of stoneware. She has two dark blue sponge ware design type covered jars, each with a wire handle. They are approx. 6-7" tall (I did not measure them while I was there, sorry) and there is no Red Wing marking. I was told that these are indeed Red Wing refrigerator jars, these pieces were not marked during production and they are rare. Any thoughts? Thanks Pat

Answer: Pat, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the dark blue sponged jar with the wire handle is not Red Wing. It looks like a couple of the red and blue sponged bowls are and one is not. I have no idea of who may have manufactured the dark blue sponged jar. Al Kohlman
