Question:
I was wondering about the value of the crock we found at an antique store for $100. I believe it’s worth more than the asking price. It has beautiful markings, and is stamped (pressed into the clay on the backide) "Red Wing Stoneware Company". The only flaws are a couple small chips right next to one another on one of the side handles, see the left handle in the picture. There are no cracks, etc. The top and bottom edges are like new. Thank you for any information you can give me. Wade

Answer: Wade, you did quite well. Your 6 gallon Red Wing salt glazed back stamped crock has a value between $500 & $600. Nice piece. Al Kohlman
