Question:

We rescued this Saffron Ware lidded jar from a relatives basement. It’s about 8 inches high, and 8 inches diameter. The glaze seems to be in decent condition, with no chips or cracks (although I’m far from an expert on these things). I searched the posts on this site, and found a few other Saffron Ware jars and bean pots, but nothing that looks quite like this one. Any information  –including approximate value—would be greatly appreciated.

Answer:

Roy this jar is a Red Wing saffron ware cookie jar.  As far as value goes it is quite low due to no advertising or decoration.  $30 to $40.  Al Kohlman
