Question:
Hi, I bought this 8 Gal Butterfly crock at an estate sale and would like to know the apprx. age and current value. I did see a couple small chips out of the Butterfly as the Butterfly isn’t flush with the crock like the number 8 is and does stand out. There are no other chips, cracks or stains in the crock. I thought it was beautiful!! Any info would be appreciated. Barb

Storing Advice for Dinnerware and Art Pottery
Question:
Dear Red Wing Collectors, My mother, who was a memeber of the Red Wing Society, recently passed away. She had a large collection of Red Wing dinnerware, artware, and some stoneware. We are considering temporarily packing it into boxes and storing it in an empty metal grain bin. It would be secure and dry, but we are unsure if the heat and cold in the midwest would damage it. It could get over 100 degrees and as low as -5 degrees. It would probably be stored until next fall. Any advice you can give us will be greatly appreciated. Also, does the Red Wing Society have a list of auctioneers who specialize in Red Wing? Our knowledge of Red Wing is limited and we are lost, in more ways than one. Again, we need advise and would greatly appreciate any you might offer. Sincerely, Brenda
