Question:
My grandma gave me this piece. Looked around on internet & couldn’t find a similar piece. Is 5.5 in tall, base has diameter of 6 in. Has a lid, one pottery handle on side & a wire handle. On teh bottom is a circle logo that says "RED WING – Union Stoneware Co. – RED WING, MINN." It is in great shape – but needs cleaned up since it sat near my grandma’s stove for 30+ years. No chips or cracks. Any info you can provide would be great (age – value – etc.) Thanks so much

 

Answer: Your Red Wing bean pot was manufactured in the late teens (1915 to 1920 or so). Value in perfect condition with the original lid is between $50 & 75 in today’s market. Al Kohlman
