Question:
Interior photo
I was given a salt glaze 4 gallon crock that I was told is Northstar. It is in super condition. It has some very minor roughness on one handle. I was told that the color variation in the salt glaze is typical of the Northstar Stoneware Co. & I was told that the albany slip glaze used on the interior of the Northstar crocks were inferior to that used by the Minnesota Stoneware Co. or the Red Wing Stoneware Co.thus causing this variation in color. Crock is in perfect condition, there are NO lines in this crock to cause these color variations. It has a great multi colored interior. NO base chips,NO rim chips,NO hairlines. It just has typical manufacturing flaws. Photos of the handle, interior and front are attached.

I have a 3 gallon jar that says redwing on it. It is salt glaze on the bottom and brown on the top. It has a wire handle on the small opening on the top, but I have no lid. I believe it is a pickle jar of sort but am unsure. I am a new collector of crocks, etc. and am trying to identify this piece and get an idea of what it is worth. Thanks!.jpg)
Just purchased a set of 8 tumblers in their original carrier. They are a grape pattern with gold trim. They are in MINT condition and don’t look as though they had ever been washed. What is most amazing about the set is that one of the glasses still has the original paper label "Red Wing Potteries" on it. White label, red lettering. Were these sold by Red Wing Pottery to coordinate with a particular pattern dinnerware? Any idea of the value? Thanks for your reply. I have more photos if that will help in identification. Best Regards, Darren
Is my Monmouth art vase, which is about 22 inches tall and 26 inches diameter an early Monmouth piece? I bought this about 20 years ago from an art dealer in Missouri, and I paid $90 for it then, so I am really curious to have some background and current worth, if you would be so kind as to tell me your thoughts on this piece. Thank you for any help you can give me.
I have always had my eye on this pink rooster vase that my mother has. It has a 4" base, 6 and 1/2 wide across from the belly, while its 13 and 1/2 tall from the beak. I am curious on the background of it, the year it was made and course the value of it. I am absolutely in love with it and want to know as much as I can. Thanks so much!
