3 gallon albany slip etched

Question:
I found this jug and was wondering if you could tell me what it is? The only markings on it is a three that has been etched into the top by the spout across from the handle. The etched 3 has a line starting at the top of the three towards the spout, as I hope you can see from the picture. It is etched pass the glaze down into the ceramic. The base is 9" in diameter, and it is 14" from the bottom to the top of the spout. The opening is a hair more than an inch diameter with no markings on the bottom as far as I can see. It is a brown alkaline glaze and has no cracks or chips in it at all. Would love to know what history and value the jug has. Thank you. Steven

4 gallon Red Wing salt glazed crock with Albany slip lining

Question:
I have a 4 gallon Red Wing salt glazed crock with Albany slip lining and molded handles. The orange peel surface on the outside is a very pleasing darkish tan color. The cobalt markings are called the bee sting design I think. Below the number the design is a spiral with a trailing line going vertically downward. No cracks, chips, stains or other damage. No marking on bottom. What is the age and value of this crock? This is a pretty crock. Sorry I do not have a picture for you. Gail
