Question:
Hello! I inherited this jug from my grandmother in Wisconsin. The decoration appears to be some sort of flower (tulip?) in a cobalt blue. The number 3 appears directly above the flower and is underlined. The salt glaze is smooth around the jug, although there is a spot of reddish discoloration near the flower design. There are no cracks or chips. The handle attaches directly to the spout at a roughly 90 degree angle.It has no makers mark, so I’m unsure if it is even a Red Wing product. Any information on what this is would be greatly appreciated!! Eric

 

Answer: Eric, your 3 gallon salt glazed jug is not Red Wing or Wisconsin Stoneware. I just have no idea of maker, history or value. Al Kohlman
