Christmas Jug Follow up
Question:
Hi Al Kohlman, I submitted a question a few weeks ago about a Red Wing Christmas Jug 1882 and submitted a pic as well. (Please see old posts) I have more information for you. I was given this jug in 1972 by my wifes aunt in Chippewa Falls, WI. She was a very knowledgable collector and don’t think its a repo. I think you are right that is was an end of day piece. Also etched on the front is Kern Spring St. Peter MINN. The base inscript says "Red Wing Stoneware Co. Redwing Minnesota. It is very faint and glazed over and I have now included a photo of the base. Thanks, Jay

Red Wing 1227 tulip shape candle holder, Magnolia Line
Question:
I have a candle holder that is shaped like a tulip. The tulip is where the candle goes and the base is shaped like three leaves. On the bottom is says: Red Wing, USA, and I believe the number is 1227 (the number is harder to read). It is a very light sandy color, almost a cream color. This was passed down to me from my mother-in-law and I’m wondering if it was actually an item that Red Wing made. I appreciate your expertise. Thankyou, Jane
Answer: Hi Jane
Yes, It’s Red Wing. Part of the Magnolia line, from 1946. There are several different shapes from this popular line. Value for the single is around 20.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

20 gallon double birch leave crock
Question:
What is the value of the 20 gallon Union crock pictured. Do the"double-double" leaves and off center oval add any value? The crock has a great ring… the crock has no chips but somehow a very very tight 6 inch hairline has developed. Should I do something to guard against the hairline growing? Thanks. Chuck

15 gallon pedal lid – with salty features
Question:
I simply fall in love with the various Red Wing items I come across. What is the make/value of the attached 15 (marked) gallon pedal lid. Because it is tan in color I would guess it is salt glaze. Unfortunately it has a rim chip (about 1/2 inch long, 1/4 inch deep) that has caused a tight hairline about 1 inch. I know this reduces the value but it is still beautiful. More photos?Thanks. Chuck
