Question:

Hello Stacy,
Thank you so much for taking my call today.  As I said my husband and I found this water crock about 18 years ago under my Uncle’s porch and we just love it.  We are very interested to know if it is Red Wing or what and about how much it is worth.  It does have a small chip out of the neck area but not all the way through.
Thank you so much for your help!
Elaine

Answer:

You have a  Red Wing Stoneware Company 4 gallon birch leaf Ice Water. These were produced between the late 1890?s and before 1909 and are earlier than the Red Wing Water Coolers. Mint condition value around $450- $525 with nice dark blue marks, chip hurts value depends on where it is,  minus $100 or so. Beautiful piece. Cliff Olson
