This is part of the Prismatique line of 1962. Value is around $45.00.

Question: Hello, I’m an Auctioneer in Des Moines, Iowa, I just had consigned to my Auction House this 5 Gallon Waconda Springs Jug. I am not real knowledgable about these.
(A) Is this actually a Red Wing Product, and if so, why is the “Red Wing” Logo Not Printed on the jug. Please explain if you would.
(B) What is the estimated value? It looks as if a tiny chunk of the handle has been glued back on. Also, what is the value if the handle had not been glued back on?
Thank You Very Much
Aaron
Answer: Aaron, this is a vintage 5 Gallon Red Wing Waconda Springs Jug. The reason there is no Red Wing logo is do the customer’s order stating just that. The jug was to advertise Waconda Springs water and not Red Wing Stoneware Company.
Value in perfect condition $200 to $250. With handle damage $100 to $150. Al
Question: I have this 5 gallon Colfax Mineral Water jug and am curious about the value. It has a chip and roughness on the spout. Also, has a small discolored crack on one side of the advertisement. I am thinking of selling it and have been told that is collectable.
Thank you for your assistance, Brenda
Answer: Brenda, these Red Wing Colfax advertisng beehives in mint condition have value in the area of $850 to $900 to day. With the chip in the spout and the crack on the size amount the other flaws, the value would be in the area of $200 to $300. al
Question: We found a 3 gallon redwing union stoneware peice in our barn today. we were curious as, in addition to the 4 1/2″ redwing logo along with the blue #3 and redwing stoneware oval, there is a redwing shape worked/carved into the side of the peice. We were wondering if this is of any significance?
Thanks for your input.

Answer: Kelly, I have never seen this before. However, it looks like the potter may have used the stamp on the side of this crock when the clay was extremely moist. Very unique. I would think the value could be a bit higher on this piece. Maybe even up to $200. Al
Question:
Hi. I have been trying to get verification that this is a Red Wing piece. I believe it was made between the 20s or 30s. I saw one sold with a different lamp shade, last year for $700.00. This looks like a cattail design, the base is about 8″ tall and the width is about 5″. The lamp shade I believe is copper but was added to the lamp. The condition is very good. Slight blue color at the base that blends into brown. Thank you for your help. Suzanne K.
Answer:
It’s Red Wing, the cat tail lamp, from the brushware line, circa 1930. Value is around $150.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question: I’ve been collecting Red Wing Stoneware for about 20 years and I came across an unmarked salt glaze beehive piece that has a very odd design that I’ve not seen before. Attached are pictures of the jug. Thank you for your help.Keith
Answer: Nice Beehive. The S/A mark as been debated for years as whether it is Red Wing or another pottery produced it. Your jug does look like a Red Wing beehive. Either way, there are a number of S/A collectors in the Society that would love this jug. Also, being a 4 gallon jug makes it a tough find. With the chip in the spout and the side of the jug, I think, it could still fetch $2000 to $2500 to the right collectors. al
