Red Wing Cookie Jar

Question:
This Cookie Jar was from my father’s family and it says ‘Red Wing, Safferon Ware’ on the bottom, along with a ’2′ carved also in the bottom. It is in really good condition with no cracks or chips. It’s 6 3/4′ round by 7′ tall to the lid top. Could you also help me with the information with value, what it was called because of the flowers on the front, and what that carved number ’2′ means? Thank you very much for your help.

Answer:  These were some of Red Wing’s earlier cookie jars. All were decorated with "cold" paint, not being fired on. There are many variations of the handpainted design, this being a nice one. Value is around 275-200. Am drawing a blank about the "2", but hope this will help you. thanks, steve n rose
