Hi there, I have this red clay crock with brown slip glaze inside and half way down on the outside. It came from a antique shop in the middle of nowhere in the Stearns County, MN area 30 years ago. I`m wondering if it could be a John Paul or a Philleo & Williams piece. I haven`t been able to find much information on those potteries. The piece is thick walled and heavy. there is a incised line about 4 inches down and the handles are similar to red wing handles. The pottery seems hard, not has soft has most redware I have. It stands 12 inches tall. It also has a slight ovoid shape which I would guess would put at being made around the 1860`s or so. There are no gallon marks on it. There is a lot of water glass residue on it, which appears somebody used for preserving a lot of eggs. Can you tell me any thing about it? I can email more pictures if you need them. Thanks Tom

I would like to know more about this piece of Red Wing. I think it belonged to my great aunt and she would have purchased it in the 40′s or 50′s. I couldn’t get a good picture of the back, but the mark says 1306 Red Wing USA The piece is 12 x 12 and just under 2′ high. I’d appreciate anything you can tell me. Joy
Answer: Hi Joy
this is a console bowl, and you are correct, it dates to around 1947. the glaze is called woodland green, and it has a value of around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
I believe this is a 3 gallon beehive pot with the 3 and the lazy 8 design. I cannot find a redwing seal anywhere on the jug. There are no chips and it is in god condition. I have included a picture of the handle. Is there any other way to determine if it is a Redwing? What do you think is the value the piece? Thanks so much for your help. Christine

Question:
Not a question but a really fun fact for you, Larry, as well as your dinnerware enthusiasts. Turner Classic Movies aired "The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit" the other night, starring the great Gregory Peck and Jennifer Jones. When Gregory Peck’s character was invited to lunch (as part of a job interview and to meet the big boss), low and behold, the table was completely set with the Bob White pattern, even the pitcher! As a collector of Bob White myself, I must say that this scene was a super-cool, delightful surprise. Best, Luanne
