Question:
Jug is 14 1/2" tall, diameter approx 9" Light tan, somewhat pitted shiny clear glaze. There is a wooden lid, but I don’t think it’s original. No tap. In the center is oval union stoneware co. Red Wing, Minn. 2 1/4" diam. logo. 2" above that is a 1 3/4" "curly" number 3.About 2" below the logo is a 3" by 3 1/2" picture of 2 leaves facing down. Value? Mary

 

Answer: Mary, you have a Minnesota Stoneware Company 3 gallon reversed oval with birch leaves butter churn. Produced between 1895 & 1906. Without the lid the value on your piece as I see it is between $150 & $175. Al Kohlman
