Question:
Hi, I have a 4 gallon crock no chips flakes or cracks. It has been remarked in pristine condition. 13 inches by 12 imches wide. Nice salt glaze with brown inside, no marks on the inside either. In cobalt-on top a very fancy 4, under that a p facing left with 3 lines or commas,another p facing right with 2 commas, under the p’s a bullseye with 5 graduations that is over 3 inches. Oh ya I guess u would want to know the best part-it is a deep side sign. An oval MN Stwr Co Red Wing. The side sign is about 1/16 inch deep with even the lightest 1/32 inch deep. Clay hand formed handles are pristine. I paid $600 for it about 10 years ago. Thank you Bill

 

Answer: Bill, I have seen the remaining photos of your back stamped 4 gallon double rib cage crock. With today’s ecomony, the value on these signed pieces has really dropped. You use to be able to sell a piece like yours and get $1000. Today, $600 to $700 at best. Still a great piece. Al Kohlman
