Question:
Hello, I have a blue and white, flask?, blue colbalt flower. Moon shaped,salt glazed with exception of smaller area on the back for firing. Height 8 inches. Width 6 inches. Thickness 1 inch aprox. Trumpet shaped mouth opening. I researched at the library and on the internet, but can not find another like it. The unglazed portion which is aprox. 3 1/2 inch round area appears to resemble redware. The flask seems to be from the same circa as my blue and white 5 gal. bee sting crock. No markings. Could someone please help. I am at a loss. Thank you, Lori

4 Gallon Salt Glaze?
Question:
My mother in Cadillac, Michigan recently passed a crock on to me. Photo attached. 11.5 inches high, 11 inches in diameter, light golden brown exterior, brown/black interior. My google searchs point to the possibility of it being a Red Wing. It has (as described on some web sites) a "lazy eight bee sting" mark with an apparent stylized number 4, with no other markings. I’d appreciate any help you could give me in identifying the maker, the crock’s age, and value. Thanks in advance. Doug Nystrom, Chicago.
