Question:
Hallo, I own a 3 gallon RED Wing Crock and a 3 gallon Western stoneware crock.They have the red wing motive and the blue maple leaf and company information. They also both have a slightly domed lid with flatened round grip. Looking at so many crocks advertised, also here on your wonderful program, I see most of the crocks without lids, at least the ones wich look close to the ones I have in my posession. Should my crocks be without lids? Thank you for attention. These lids are of exactly the same color as the crocks and everything is in great condition. Wilhelmina

Question:
Hi, I have this Red Wing Union Stoneware water cooler that stands 13" tall, and is 9-3/4" wide at the base. The base has four holes in the outer edge as well and is not glazed. There is not top to this piece and it has a yellow/greenish glaze on the inside. It has a metal spigot that works just fine and the marking I can only make out Red Wing Union Stoneware and MINN, but I can’t make out anything else (I have 3 more pictures, including the mark at the bottom.. I would appreciate any information, thanks a bunch! ~Chris

Answer: Hi Chris

this is a water cooler, done is Brushed Ware glaze, so it would date to around 1930 or so. I know of one, that has a partial paper label on it. Think it is radium water, from somewhere in Minnesota. I don’t know of any shape #, and it is just one of those odd forms that shows up every so often. Nice item, value is around 300.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Question:
Hello. I have a quick question. I have a Red Wing water cooler 4 gallon. It is in near perfect condition with great color, no chips or cracks. The black mark shown below the wing is under the glaze. It is only missing the spigot. I think it may be missing the spigot because it looks un-used. Did these come w/ the spigot seperate when new? Also can you please give me an idea of the value? I cannot find another like it, in 4 gallon. Thank you for your time. Jessica
