The Rare Ski Oval

Question:
Hi. I am a intermediate redwing collector, having started my collection about 4 years ago with a 2 gallon little wing crock that I purchased at a flea market. Now, my collection has grown to over 15 crocks, jugs, churns, and water coolers. I am having a hard time decifering what the "ski oval" is. I have a couple of crocks that have Red Wing Potteries Co. Red Wing, MN in it and others say various things. Please if you could please describe and or send me a picture of what the "rare ski oval" looks like I would be very grateful! Thank you again!
