Question:
I have a red wing marked 5 with the wing, oval reads RED WING Union Stoneware C? Red Wing, Minn. The inside you can see a crack along the bottom edge and seen lightly on the outside. Has a chip you can see in pic. This one has a casted hole in the bottom. Also a black line goes across the bottom. Not knowing if that is factory or someone did this? Not chips around it and really clean condition. It doesn’t have any place for handles like I have seen in some of them. Thanks for your advice! Paula
