Question:

Just wondering if you could tell me more about this crock and jug. The crock has a design that I’ve not seen before.  Is it a Red Wing crock?  What were they used for and their values. They are in great condition, although the crock has one hairline X on the back that measures about two inches in total length.

Thank you,

Lola

Answer:

Lola, both of your stoneware pieces are Red Wing.  The
2 gallon salt glazed crock is called a single P and was used for
pickling.  Value with the small spider like hairline is around $100.

The zinc glazed 3 gallon Beehive jug was used as field jug
to bring water into the fields during harvest, store fruit juices, wines and
other liquids.  Value with just the 3 is $75 to $100.  Al Kohlman
