Question:
Hello, I’m wondering if you could tell me the approximate age and value of this Red Wing pottery jug. The bottom says Minnesota Red Wing Stoneware Co. Thanks for your time. Brian

Answer: Brian, your Minnesota Stoneware jar looks to be a Minnesota Stoneware Preserve/Snuff jar.. They came in 1/2 gal., 1 gal. & 2 gal sizes. In perfect condition, with original salt glazed lid and bottom signed, the value ranges depend on size. Value can range from $45 to $60 for the 1/2 gal. and $50 to $60 for the 1 gal and $175 to $200 for the 2 gal. Not sure if your lid is original, but it may be. Hope this helps. Al Kohlman
