6gallon Brich Leaf crock

Question:
We have a #6 stoneware crock with 2 connected leaves labeled Union Stoneware Co Red Wing Minn in an oval medallion under the leaves. It has no cover and no other marking but is in perfect condition. The color of the leaves is light to medium blue (not the dark blue I have seen online). We inherited it and have no idea about the age or value but would love to know whatever you can tell us about it. Thank you. Paula

PS It has what you have marked as the "Union oval"

Double Spout Pitcher, dutch blue

Question:
I have not been able to find any information on this piece or anything even like it. It’s a small (about10 inches tall?, blue, double spouted picture with a handle between the spouts. It has a raised design on both sides that appear to be a circle of leaves with a star at the top. The bottom reads "red wing 766". The piece is in perfect condition, no chips, cracks, fading etc. It also has the original receipt from my Grandfathers purchase tucked inside and it’s dated 1941.Do you have ANY information about this piece and a possible estimated value? Due to the economy I’m forced to sell some things. A shame, I love this piece.

Answer: Hi, your timeframe is correct, the glaze looks to be dutch blue. This shape is fairly hard to find, and collectors like this glaze. The original receipt would be fun as well. Value around 100.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
