Question:
I have a huge red wing stoneware crock…fattened dec. 1915…19" diameter, 20.5" tall. It was damaged in moving last year….four chunks…one with handle in tact. is it worth repairing, all pieces are complete….or will there be no value in a repaired crock? What works best in binding the pieces together again?
MORE INFO: Sorry for the lack of info…now after exploring your site….I’m a bit more knowledgable : ) It’s a Red Wing….20 gallon with bail handles….wire and wood in tact. The wing on the side is medium in size….compared to the latest entry on your site…the one in pristine condition. Can’t re-coup any money from moving damage….we did it ourselves! so sad
Just curious…what works best for repairing broken crocks…and if any value would be left for sale in a yard sale?? Alison
We found this yellow Iris pattern pitcher while cleaning out my Grandma’s pantry. It measures 7" tall. It is signed on the bottom, Red Wing USA. Unfortunately, it has 2 cracks on each side of the pitcher. They are hairline but do go through to the inside. Could you tell me if the value of this picher, if any? Thank you so much for this wonderful website! Laurie
I have three stoneware pieces and would like to know if they are antique and what their value might be. The first one is very large it has been used for pickling, the other is a whiskey bottle, both are in great shape with no visiable flaws. The last one is about the same size as the whiskey bottle, but is a crock with no writing on it at all.
Hi again, I have this 10 gal Red Wing. No chips, cracks or spider lines. Original bail wires and wood handles are still there. It has a 6" wing. I believe that it would have been produced between 1915 and 1920. Can you give me a value for it? thank you, Jennifer
Hi, I have a 10 gal birch leaf crock. The 2 7/8" oval shows "RED WING" not "UNION" as most of those that I have seen with the birch leaves on them. I know that MN stoneware and Red Wing merged in 1906 and the birch leaf pattern was dropped. There are no visible cracks, chips or spider lines. Can you tell me when you think this was produced? And its value? Do you think this was one produced about the time of the merger that would cause it to have one marking from each company? Thank you for your help! Jennifer
We bought this crock at a auction wanting to know a little bit more about this piece and if its worth anything.
I have a few pieces that were passed on to me recently that I cannotfind mention of anywhere. The first is a Star-Shaped Serving dish Approx 1.5" deep and spansabout 10.5" across the points. It has a number on the bottom/back 1164. Item 2 is a planter – cream and stands approx 6" H by 7" wide. This one has the number 2 etched in the bottom. Last is a butter crock. A promotional piece from Koch’s Stores. 6" High and about 7" in diameter at the widest spot… All three pieces have no cracks, chips or flaws and are very clean! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
