15 gallon western crock
Question:
Hello. My husband was recently given this Western Stoneware Comoany 15 gallon crock. It doesn’t have a lid and the handles are missing (left side handle holder is broken) and is has about an 8" crsck also on the left side. We are curious about the approximate value as we were considering using it on our front porch (covered but not enclosed) but wasn’t sure if it was too valuable to leave outside?? Thank you for your time. Cathy
Answer: Cathy,
The RWCS membership has a Western Collector we contact. Here is what he had to say:
If the crock was mint it would have a value of $150-$200. Wiht the damage has a value around $50.00.
Ok to leave outside, but they should be filled over so they are upside during the winter months. They will break from the water freezing inside them otherwise. Scott

Red Wing Sewer Pipe
Question:
After a rather cursory look at the website, I didn’t find any information on the sewer pipe made by Red Wing. I found a rather large piece (about 2 feel long and 1 foot wide) of stone glazed sewer pipe in the bush while on a hike, and it was stamped "Red Wing". I was wondering on an age range. Sandi
Answer: The sewer pipe was made in the late 1800s and was produced in Red Wing until the 1970s

Red Wing bowl with gemetric shape
Question:
Hi there, I work at a luxury consignment store in Chicago, and one of our consignors brought in a pottery piece that she said was Red Wing. The piece is a yellow glazed pot/planter with 3 decorative indentations and 3 triangular designs. It also has a "cracked" finish/look on the exterior. There is a faint blue stamp on the bottom that looks like it reads Red Wing Art, but I can’t read what is underneath (maybe numbers). The number 175 is engraved on the bottom as well. If you need additional photos, please let me know. Any information on this piece would be helpful. Thank you in advance. Best, Kate
Answer: Hi Kate
it is red wing, some of the earlier artware they did. Dates to around 1930 or so. The crackle in the glaze is normal. Value is around 70.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
