Albany Slip jug and “Red, White, and Blue Apple Cider” Jug

Question:
I have two brown stoneware jugs with no information on their origin. The smaller of the two has some raised writing around the top that I can’t make out. The larger jug doesn’t have any markings. I got these because they are similar in color and form and I liked the way they look together. I would love to have info on whether they might be Red Wing? Or any other pottery you’re familiar with? I apologize for the darkness of the pictures. The dark color of the jugs soaked up the color. Thanks, Sandy

P.S. I came across a white stoneware jug that advertised (in blue lettering) "Red, White, and Blue Apple Cider" from Baldwin, GA. The top was unglazed and rough while the bottom portion was glazed. Does this sound familiar? Sorry I don’t have pics, but I passed this one up and didn’t purchase it.
