18 inch high salt glazed beehive jug

Question:
Enclosed are photos of a single handle salt-glazed beehive jug. It doesn’t have any marks as to who made it. It is 18" high and 11-1/2" diameter of bottom. It has turkey droppings and some discoloration as you can see on the photos. It is in good condition except for a glazed-over chip on the inside of the spout and a small dent on the side. Could you tell me if it is Red Wing and what is the value? Thank you. Dayton

12 gallon Union Stoneware Crock

Question:
I found a large crock in my parents’ basement. It measures 17" in diameter by 17" high. It has a large blue "12" just below the rim, a large red "Red Wing" emblem in the middle and "Union 1 Stoneware" id in an oval near the bottom. I will have to do some heavy duty cleaning before I can take a photo. Can you please tell me more about this piece? Thank you. Chuck

2 gallon Birch Leaf Crock

Question:
Hello. I have a 2 gallon birch leaf crock that I am curious about (Red Wing?, production time, why no company oval, and value if possible). There is a funny crescent moon shape mark in the bottom that appears to be done during the molding process. There is also a chip on the bottom that is roughly the size of a pencil eraser. Thank you very much for your time. Jeff

Blue Band Red Wing , 5 pound pantry jar

Question:
I am trying to find out idea of the value of the Red Wing Blue Banded Butter Crock that has been in my family from time of purchase – my grandfather in early 1900′s had a greenhouse near Red Wing Pottery Factory. This Butter Crock has been gently used. I will try to upload 4 pictures. First is front-chip on top right but when looking from top hardly noticeable. Also on wing about 1" in from wing there is a very very fine .crack going from there to top edge. (but not showing at all from the inside). Picture 2 from the back – showing only other chip again very small on the top right – on very edge of top of crock. Pictures 3 & 4 as you can see are inside and bottom. Thanks. phone 715-634-4112

3 gallon target salt glaze churn

Question:
This piece of pottery has been in my family for as long as I can remember. There are no legible markings on the bottom and the only design or writing is that of the blue marking. I do not recall a lid. It was given to my mother as a wedding present. Family lore states that it was made in France but I think it might have been made by one of our french ancestors but in the US. Would you know if it is Red Wing and if not, any suggestions on what it is and its value? Thank you, Pat
