With the bit I have reaad, they did some of this typeof advertising ware for several places in the Heartland. The diameteracorss the top is 7 inches the bottom is 3. It stands about 3 1/4 inches high. The name is Glenwood City. It took me bit to read but as she grew up there, I wonder if this may have even belonged to her mother. As to condition it has small scrtaches on the outside but i do not see and nicks or cracks. Not sure what else to add. Would lilke to know if it is indeed redwing. Could ask my nieghbor but I think that if it is redwing i may use as gift for her. She teaches my child piano and is a collector of red wing pottery. thanks agin

6 gallon birch leave, salt glaze
Question:
Hi there-Can you help me identify this piece of what we think is very old redwing pottery? The initials R.W.S.Co. are imbedded on the front. It has what looks like a 6 painted on the front with a line underneath it with a pretty blue leaf below it. It has a black-brown salt glaze inside. It measures 14.5" tall and 12.5" across. It has the original wires around the base (a double wire), and just under the rim. The handles look like they’re kind of built in to the side of the crock. It’s really beautiful and I’d love to know more about it. Maybe where it came from, the age, and approx value? Thanks so mcuh for your help! I really appreciate it!

10 gallon red wing crock with bail handles
Question:
Hello, I recently acquired this 10 gallon Red Wing Crock and while doing research on your site and others, I ended up with a few questions. 1) The "10" seems to have a "1" that is different from others I have seen and 2) the stampings, i.e. the "10", "Red Wing", "Logo Stamp" and "Patented" all seem to be much lighter in color compared to others I have seen. The Red Wing is a 4" Is there any uniqueness to this or am I just hoping and you will see the small outside crack in the Glaze, not the crock, how much would this detract from the value? Thank you in advance for any feedback.
