Question:
I have found this dog and am wondering what the value of it would be and if its even redwing? I looks to me that it is identical to a dog in "Redwing Potters and Their Wares" page 13. It is glazed with a heavy albany slip. Any info will help. Its the bigger one in the picture. Thanks Drew

#2 Glazed Butter Churn with lid, 4-1/2″ Red Wing stamp, Red Wing Union Stoneware Red Wing, Minn. ova
Question:
What would be a fair sale price for this item please? Red Wing #2 Glazed Butter Churn with lid, 4-1/2" Red Wing stamp, Red Wing Union Stoneware Red Wing, Minn. oval, with maple dasher pole. Very good condition; no chips or cracks. I look forward to hearing back soon Thank you. Debra
Answer: Debra, From looking at your picture it appears the lid is not a Red Wing lid. The value would be about $225 to $250. With the correct Red Wing churn lid the value would be around $300.
6 gallon crock with setincel markings
Question:
This churn has been in my wife’s family possibly since it was new. We just recieved it from my Mother-in-law. I collect RedWing, and have been quite puzzled by the mark on it. There is no marking identifying the maker- but i’m sure that it is Redwing. Looks like the 6 and marks around it could possibly be a stencil. It is in excellent shape, only one little chip where the lid fits in. We do not have the lid however. It is salt glaze, with a few very lt. dropping marks. A value and any info. would be greatly appreciated. It is 17.5" tall, 9.5" where the lid fits in and about 12" wide. Thanks so much- Dean
Answer: Dean, In my opinion the churn was made by a mid-western potter—possible one in Illinois. It is a nice piece of early salt glazed and I would put the value around $300. Jeff

Hamm’ Bear Mug, St. Patties Day mug
Question:
Hello, me again! I also have this St. Patties Day mug – Do you happen to know of any collectors who might be interested? I want them to have good homes. Thank you! Maren
Answer: Maren, This mug does not appear to be Red Wing, but a Hamm’s beer collector would certainly like to have one. I suggest you check the internet for a Hamm’s beer club.
Set of Hamm’s Krug Klub mugs
Hello, I have a set of 4 Krug Klub Mugs made by Red Wing. Can you tell me a little about them? I would love to actually pass them along to a collector who would love to have them in their collection! Thank you! Maren
Answer: Maren, These mugs were made in the 1950’s. The Hamm’s brewing company commissioned Red Wing Potteries to make two different sized. The 2008 book value on these is around $100 per mug, but in today’s market I feel the $60 to $75 is a more realistic value. Jeff
Salt and Pepper Combo shaker
Is this spongeware salt n pepper combo RW? It is marked on the bottom but I just can’t make it out. If so, how rare and value. Thank you for your time. Your site is great for reference and history info. Margaret
Answer: Margaret, This item is not Red Wing. It is certainly a nice old salt and pepper set. A 2005 stoneware book edited by Kyle Husfloen places the value at $150. I think the value is a bit high—they are not all that rare. I have purchased some in past years for $50 to $60.I have a few of these in my collection, but cannot make out what the writing is on the bottom either. Jeff

50-gallon red wing crock with spigot
Question:
I have a 50-gallong red wing crock and great condition. The question I have is that it has a spigot on it. "Did it come from the manufacture with the spigot on it, or was this post-manufacture added?" I do not know if it could be worth more or less, because of the spigot? Lynn

3 gallon stoneware jug
Question:
I have the following 3 stoneware jugs that were handed dowm to me from my dad who acquired them from his dad. My dad was born in 1902 in Wisconsin and at age 5 the family had moved to Baltimore, so these jugs date either 1800s from the Heuer Farm in Wisconsin or 1900s from the Baltimore Farm. I know the one is a Beehive – It has some damage (see photos) and what looks like it could be a bullet hole (Civil War maybe – target practice?) The other is a 3 Gallon Brown/Tan Jug with a number 3 in what looks like its a heart. The smaller jug is a 1 Gallon Whiskey Jug with a very old wooden stopper that won’t come out. Can you shed any light on these…maker/value etc…) From what I remember as a little girl, they came with the family from Wisconsin so may have been in the family for some time prior to 1907. This photo is of the Beehive Jug. Other 2 below. Thanks.
