Question:
Hi experts, I recently aquired this kerosene lamp at an estate sale. It is 8" to the burner collar and 7.5" in dia. at the top and 6" at the base. The reservoir is brown glazed inside and was inserted into the base before firing. There is a vine and berry accent around the top rim. Thougjt it might have been an afterthought, but the filler cap leads me to believe that it was made this way originally. Hope the picture makes it to you. Any info would be greatly appreciated and to know if it is a RW item. Thanks much. Regards, Jerry
my kerosene lamp and forgot to mention that in the hole on the bottom that there are hand etched munbers: 1134, 1136, 1173-38 and 45. Hope this may help. Thanks, Jerry
Answer: Hi Jerry
thanks for the pic, I can’t find this particular shape in any of the Red Wing book. It does look to be made for kerosene. I’m not sure who the maker is. Still a nice looking lamp. thanks, steve n rose
I found this jug and was wondering if you could tell me what it is? The only markings on it is a three that has been etched into the top by the spout across from the handle. The etched 3 has a line starting at the top of the three towards the spout, as I hope you can see from the picture. It is etched pass the glaze down into the ceramic. The base is 9" in diameter, and it is 14" from the bottom to the top of the spout. The opening is a hair more than an inch diameter with no markings on the bottom as far as I can see. It is a brown alkaline glaze and has no cracks or chips in it at all. Would love to know what history and value the jug has. Thank you. Steven

I picked this piece up at a sale today and am curious as to wether it is red wing brushed ware. It is 9 3/4" tall and 7 1/2" wide. It is a barrel with a wooden peg in the hole in the center and also a hole on top with a cork. I don’t see any marks anywhere and it is in great shape. The color is a darkish brown, the color of cholcolate milk. The picture doesn’t show the true color. Any info would be a help. Thanks Ann
I have a green Red wing vase with a yellow interior. The # on the bottom is 82105. I am interested in any information. It appears to have an alligator or fish scale texture. patti
The #3 crock in this photo does not have handles. Does that mean it is older/more valuable than the #5 next to it? Mary
I would like to know the value of the these items. Thanks! The item on the left is a 1 gallon ball top Red Wing Jug. Dome top. Few tiny bottom chips. RW3 bottom signed. I believe this is the actual jug pictured on page 21 of the Red Wing Stoneware Guide (the markings are identical). The item on the right is a 1 gallon North Star Wide Mouth Jug. Small flake on lip. NS1 bottom signed. I can’t tell for sure if this is the one pictured on page 21 of the Red Wing Stoneware Guide. Jill
