Question:
In the attached photos is a jug my grandfather obtained in south western Wisconsin in the 1950s. There is a stamped letter “D” below the handle. Any information you care to share would be appreciated.

Answer:
The jug is a fine example of a very old salt glazed beehive jug. There is not much cobalt decoration which collectors desire. It could be Red Wing, but the letter D stamped below the handle is not something Red Wing did. In today’s market I would put the value at $500 to $550. The jug was probably made somewhere in the midwest. Jeff
