Question: We found a 3 gallon redwing union stoneware peice in our barn today. we were curious as, in addition to the 4 1/2″ redwing logo along with the blue #3 and redwing stoneware oval, there is a redwing shape worked/carved into the side of the peice. We were wondering if this is of any significance?

Thanks for your input.

Answer: Kelly, I have never seen this before.  However, it looks like the potter may have used the stamp on the side of this crock when the clay was extremely moist.   Very unique.  I would think the value could be a bit higher on this piece.  Maybe even up to $200.  Al
