Question:
We were hoping you could help us. My wife and I have an older RedWing crock that is no longer shown on the Red Wing website and I was wondering if you could tell me anything about it, particularly it’s value. It is bail handled, 16" tall and 15" in diameter. It has a large "10" on the side, up near the rim. The logo is stamped in blue in an oval layout and reads: Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. ——– Red Wing, Minn It also has stamped in blue ink "Patented, Dec 21, 1944" (not sure of the last 4 – it is hard to read). It is in good shape, without chips or cracks. Thank you!

Design No 1, planter
Question:
I recently got what I believe is a planter when my grandfather died. I was told it was a Red Wing piece, but it does not have a red wing stamp. I tried to get my photos on here, but I am having troubles so bear with me. It is a cream colored planter. It is in the shape of the bust of a female. The plant goes in through a hole in the top back of the head. The female has shoulder length hair with a light wave. There is a bow or hair clip of some sort on the right side of her hair. The paint has worn off of the hair piece as well as her shoulder which has a pink sleeve. Her eyes are looking up. They are blue and she has long eyelashes. Her lips are the same pink as her bow and sleeve. She also has large blue pearls around her neck. The planter is slightly taller than the length of my hand. The the bottom of the inside is stamped with "Design No 1" and "U.S.A" in a cursive font. The stamp can be seen in reverse on the outer bottom. If you have any info about this piece please let me know. I love this piece whether or not it is Red Wing, but it would be nice to know one way or another.
