Question:

We are sending another request to help us learn more about our crocks, as we become more anxious to learn about Red Wing crockery in general, its history and values.  Our group photo is as follows (R to L):

1- 3 gallon salt glaze with leaf. Chip in front as shown. The “encyclopedia” 2010 shows this to be rare? Is this still true?
2-  2 gallon salt glaze with target. Small hairline crack on outside but not thru to inside.
3- 3 gallon double P with rib cage.  Small hairline crack on outside but not thru to inside.
4- Plain. Bottom marked Minnesota Stoneware Co. Perfect condition.
5- Plain 1 gallon. No markings. Perfect condition.
6- 5 gallon. Perfect condition. Lid is cracked and has a chip inside.
7- 5 gallon water cooler.  Perfect condition. Spigot is new. No lid.
8- Stoneware brown bowl. No markings.
9- Stoneware brown jar.  Perfect. No markings.

Thank you!

Dave and Lori

Answer:

Lori, I will place the values at the end of each of your questions.

1- 3 gallon salt glaze with leaf. Chip in front as shown. The “encyclopedia”
2010 shows this to be rare? Is this still true?  3 gal leaf crock is a tough find.   If mint today, $450 to $500 with chip, $300 to $350
2-  2 gallon salt glaze with target. Small hairline crack on outside but not
thru to inside.  Still the hairline hurts the value.  $70 to $90
3- 3 gallon double P with rib cage.  Small hairline crack on outside but not
thru to inside.  Again hairline,  $100 to $125
4- Plain. Bottom marked Minnesota Stoneware Co. Perfect condition.  $40
5- Plain 1 gallon. No markings. Perfect condition. $10 to $15
6- 5 gallon. Perfect condition. Lid is cracked and has a chip inside.  Lid is not Red Wing and with chip and crack $0.  5 gallon wing crock, $70 to $90
7- 5 gallon water cooler.  Perfect condition. Spigot is new. No lid.  $300
8- Stoneware brown bowl. No markings.  RW milk pan   $30
9- Stoneware brown jar.  Perfect. No markings.  $10 to $15

Hope this is helpful.  Al Kohlman
