5 gallon salt glaze crock with Red WIng Stoneware Stamp

Question:
Hello I have a 5 gallon crock, I think it is a water jug, with an unusual swirl design on the front. It also had a spigot near the bottom, and above the spigot it is stamped "Red Wing Stoneware Company". I am new to the collecting world, but have not seen this stamp (it is actually more like an engraving) nor the swirled design before. The piece came from my great grandparents farm. My grandpa says he remembers drinking water out of it in the barn, but they used a ladel hanging on the side, not the spigot. It is in great shape, with only a tiny hairline crack on the bottom that is very hard to see unless you look really closely. I am wondering if you could help me with the date, usage and a value. Thanks much! Jess

Provincial Ware 23

Question:
Hello – I have 2 round shallow dishes which are stamped on the bottom Red Wing Provencial Ware 23 – They don’t look like they have been used at all – excellent shape. They look like round au gratin dishers with simple and attractive fan-like handles. Dimensions: approx top diameter 6 1/2" / approx bottom diameter 4/1/2" They have the unglazed bisque exterior and glazed tan interior, and from descriptions sound like they are WWII era. Could you tell me how much they might be worth? Thanks for your help on this! If interested, I can provide photos, but I am concerned the file size might be a problem for this form. Joan
