Question:

Good Day!  My name is Val and I am writing to you regarding two crocks I have inherited from my Grandparents.  The first one is a 5 gal salt glazed crock with a slight chip near the inside lip of the crock and a small chip on the underside of one of the ears on the crock as you will see in the pics provided.  There is slight staining running down from the ears of the crock also.  I also have a nice 3 gal small wing crock in what I consider nice condition. No chips or cracks.  Wondering if you would share a value on these crocks?

Thank you!

With Regards,

Val

Answer:

Val, your 5 gallon Up-turned leaf salt glazed crock was produced by the North Star Stoneware Company in Red Wing, Minnesota.  With the shallow chip on the inside rim and under one handle, the value is between $300 & $375.  Your 3 gallon Red Wing crock with small wing,  $60 to $75.  Al Kohlman
