Question:
I have been lookong at a birch leaf crock #4 not signed on the bottom, but has the oval under the leaves. It is in black lettering. Is this an original, are there reproductions of redwing crocks? This piece is in good condition, and they are asking $60.00 for it is this a fair price. Also what time period was this piece made? Thank you. Roger

Answer: Roger, the information you have given me on this crock would be an original Red Wing Crock. The oval should say Union Stoneware Company. The time period would be between 1895 & 1909. If this crock is in mint condition, I would say $60 is a very fair price. Al Kohlman
