Question:
We have a large blue stoneware bowl that is stamped on the bottom RWS Co. It has a wide 1.5" band around the top of it. The color is medium sky blue, but you can see some light green showing through. I don’t know if it is discoloration or was made that way. Also, there is no glaze around the very top rim. It looks sand colored. We are guessing it was made this way because it does not look like the glaze chipped off. We received the bowl from my husband’s grandmother who used it when making bread. She died in late 1988 at age 103. We will keep the bowl in the family, but would like to tell our family a little about it. Does this sound like the type of bowls made by your company in the past? How much should we insure it for? We are guessing $50. Thank you. Nanci

JOS. M. FREY ADVERTISING JUG
Question:
Red Wing Experts, I purchased this half gallon advertising jug last month in Grand Island, NE. I’m unable to find it in any of my Red Wing books. It has a very small base chip, but no cracks. It has some interesting mathmatical inventory(?) calculations which were scratched into the wet clay on the bottom of the jug. I paid $20.22. Could you please tell me if this is indeed a Red Wing jug and also what you think it might be worth? Thanks, Bret
