Question:
During a recent construction project on the Ohio River banks at Louisville, KY we unearthed hundreds of stoneware items ten to fifteen feet beneath ground level. This area had been a major river port over two hundred years ago. Among the items was a miniature jug complete with handle. In an oval it is marked Red Wing (twice) and Union Stoneware Co. It is in excellent shape. It is approx. three inches tall and appears to be a souvenier size????? Thanks for any information you may be able to provide. Fred

Answer: Fred, your mini jug was used for promoting the union of the Red Wing & Minnesota Stoneware Companies when they joined together in 1906. Value on your mini jug is $650 to $750. Nice find and great mini! Al Kohlman
