Question:
20 gallon salt glazed w/elephant ear handles, brown glaze inside, two lazy 8 marks, one above the other. Looks more like bees, with horizontal lines through the "wing" part. Not marked Red Wing, is it Red Wing and what would the value be. No cracks or chips. Thanks Joe

 

Answer: Joe, I seen the photo of your 20 gallon salt glaze crock with the double lazy eights. Your crock is not Red Wing, but was manufactured by the Western Stoneware Company. Still a nice piece. I would think $500 to $800 would be a close estimate on it. Al Kohlman
