Question:
Yes i was wondering about this jug? I cant seem to find any markings on it but it looks to be well crafted. If u can identify this piece, I would like to know dates /value if possible. Thank you. Rusty

 

Answer: Rusty, not having a signed jug of this type whether it be Red Wing or another stoneware company will aways have a low value. Collectors are looking for perfect, signed, decorated or advertising pieces. Also from your photo, I can see a large chip on the bottom edge. Value on your jug as I see it, would be $10 to $20. I cannot tell from your photo if this jug is a zinc glaze piece or salt glazed, so it is hard for me to date it. However, regardless of dates, the value I gave you would hold close to true either way. Al Kohlman
