Question:
I have a Rum Rill wine decanter, about 11" tall and 10" in diameter at the bottom and green in color. Marked RUM RILL 616. Can you tell me how old it is and what it might be worth?

Ehank you very much for any help you can offer.

Answer: It’s part of the vintage group, from the late thirties. There is a matching one, with the handle on the opposite side, left and right. The glaze is Pompeian, Antiqued Ivory. Value around 90.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Minnesota Stoneware 2 gallon Crock

Question:
My husband picked this up for $5.00 at a Church Sale. Can you tell us what it is worth? It says Minnesota Stoneware Co. Red Wing on the bottom, it stands 9.5 inches tall and 10 inches across, it is a chocolate brown on the inside and tan colored on the outside. It has a red blotch "wing?" on the back. It has one chip on the rim, a foundry flaw on the rim and the crack in the picture doesn’t go all the way through, just through the glazing. Thanks for your help. Julie

Gingerbread cookie jar

Question:
Hello, I am wondering if you might know if Red Wing produced a 2-sided cookie jar that had a gingerbread man on one side with the word “COOKIES” above it and a gingerbread girl on the back? I have it in black and am trying to figure out who made it. Thank you for any help.

Question:
