Question:
We have recently been cleaning our father’s house and found a cookie jar with Red Wing USA on the bottom and in searching this site found that it looks exactly like the Chef Pierre Cookie Jar that you have pictured in another inquiry – but we noticed that color of our cookie jar was not mentioned so we wondered if it is not really Red Wing – the one we found is pink with brown speckles and the shoes, scarf, eye, hair and poofy part of the chef hat are navy blue – is this really a Red Wing cookie jar – thanks

2 gallon chicken waterer, Eureka Feeder
Question:
Hello, I have a question about the Red Wing chicken waterer. My husband came home with a 2 gallon waterer. this is the kind that lays on its side with legs on the bottom to tilt the waterer. It has a slit in the front for the chickens to drink from. I have seen a lot of chicken waterers and have not seen one this big before. Are they common? Can you tell me what a value for this would be? It does have a small chip on one of the legs but otherwise is in great condition. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much Mary

It is a minnesota centennial piece and has a green glaze color.

Brittany Dinnerware cleaning
Question:
I recently picked up a dinner set inthe Brittany pattern. Some of the pieces are brown. I’ve read that to clean pottery one should soak the pieces in 40% hydo peroxide. Is this safe? Will it bleach the paint? Is there a better way to clean these pieces. Some are really, dark, others or not so bad. I dont have the pieces here to take a pic but if it would be helpful, let me know.

4 gallon churn, salt glaze
Question:
I’ve had this churn for about 40 years. I don’t know much about it. (At one time it was used as a planter and as the plant "out grew" its owners it was passed from household to household until ended up in at my mother’s house. When the plant died, she stuck the churn in her cellar where I found it, cleaned the dirt our and used in for a waste basket until I got married. Its had a place of honor in the ocrner of our kitchen ever since. When I found your site, I thought it could be Red Wing. Its 15 inches high, about 9 inches across at the top, and after owning it for 40 years I noticed tonight that it looks like there is a 4 (as in 4 gal,) above the swirling design on the front. Is it Red Wing? Can you estimate the value (there are no chips or cracks in it.) I tried to attach two picturesif they don’t both come through, the inside has avery dark brown glaze, the outside is "salt glazed" I believe
