Churn – not Red Wing – what could it be?
Question:
Hello Stoneware ecperts — I am in Indiana and need assistance in identifying a stoneware churn/jar. I do not feel it is from Red Wing, since I believe it is from 1830-1850. Though you all may have the facts that I am looking for on this piece. Can you help? I feel it is ca.1830-50 based upon its shape and size, 20-in tall. It is hand-thrown. The glazes are not indicative to Indiana, Illinois — my region, so this is why I am having trouble with identification. Is this a southern piece, perhaps of the Bechams of Georgia. Is this an alkaline glaze? It does not give me enough of a feel to be "turkey droppings" like the Minnesota stonewares have. This glaze is much "gloppier" in my opinion. Could this stoneware be from the Colorado region? There are two marks that are incredibly hard to read. They both are on the lower area down toward the base. They are as follows: a large hand-incised "??34" and then right below it is a hand-incised capital "B." The "B" is about one 1.25-in tall, and the numbers are about .5-in tall. They were not well incised as they are very shallow in the clay and thus did not fire well. Very hard to read… I have attached one photo, although will send additional ones in individual emails. I thank you so much for any and all information you can share. I have had persons here in Indiana relay a varied opinion as to its worth. I have heard $20,000 to $80,000 based upon the region it is from. What is your professional honest opinion as to its worth? Dianna
