Saffron Ware double blue band bowl

Question:
I have a huge Red Wing bowl (12 inch diameter and 6 3/8 inches deep. As you can see it is a double blue band. It is yellow… I see some 5 inch bowls and saffron bowls in the price guides but none exactly like this. It is in very good condition but there is what I would call an age line about 1 inch off the bottom, it is both on interior and exterior but no damage to indicate it is a crack. Can you tell me what the value is? Thanks. Chuck

question5 gallon salt glaze leaf crock and 6 gallon small wing crock

Question:
Hi: There are two crocks (photo attached). The ’5′ crock is 13-inches tall…not a mark or crack on it…looks like new to me! I think it shouldn’t have the lid on it. The ’6′ is 15-inches tall…3-inch hairline crack near the base on the back…otherwise perfect…has wire-and-black wood handles. Here’s what I know for sure: We used to make root beer in them at Grandma and Grandpa’s house! Now, it’s time for them to find a new home. What’s their manufacturing history and approximate values? Many Thanks, Willie Gig Harbor, WA

8 gallon salt-glazed water cooler straigh side?

Question:
Al – Did Red Wing ever make Water Coolers "other than" the standard hour-glass shaped ones that Red Wing produced for water coolers and ice waters. I have a chance to purchase an 8-gallon, Salt-glazed water cooler shaped like a standard stoneware crock. It is taller and slimmer than a typical 8-gallon crock, and is flawless and undamaged. It has a beautiful cobalt 8, with cobalt tornado design below it. It has the typical spigot hole, flush with the crock surface. It is not signed, and thus no tell-tale Red Wing markings. It has two side handles like a typical crock, which appear to be the typical Red Wing shape, and are about 5" in width. So did Red Wing ever make anything like this? Thanks. Chris
