Question:
My grandmother has a small lidded jar with a swing handle that she thinks is Red Wing. It is probably 6-7 inches tall. There is a small chip in the lid (you can see it in the picture). The stamp on the bottom says Red Wing, but I can’t find any similar stamps in your pictures. Is this authentic? If so, is it worth anything? Thank you for your time. Monica

2 gallon salt glaze jug
Question:
I recently picked up an old pottery jug and I was wondering how old it might be, any history on who may have made it and value as well.

I sent a picture of the outside and one to try and show the inside. Curtis

Set of 1 to 30 gallon crocks
Question:
My fiance’s father has some redwing pottery, sizes 1-30 in perfect, mint condition. I’m uploading a picture that I found on wikipedia to help explain what they look like. If I remember right, they all either look this picture exactly, or they may have molded handles on the side. Just wondering what something like this is worth, as my fiance’s mother has just recently passed away, and his dad is looking to sell these in hopes of help with costs. Jenni
