5 gallon jug with flower decoration, salt glaze

Question:
Is this 5 gallon jug a Red Wing? If so, what is the design called and what type of value might it have? Condition is excellent with no cracks. There are two small chips on the rim, a chip near the middle that looks like it was cut out of the clay before firing, a couple of dark brown splatters. It also has an "A" incised near the bottom on one side. It measures 20" tall. I have more pictures but could only add one. Thanks so much!

Question:
Greetings Al, First, thank you for providing this wonderful resource for collectors! My family really enjoys collecting red wing pieces and love the site. we recently picked up these two items. The churn is obviously red wing, but we aren’t sure about the jug. Could you give us your insight and tell us what you think the pieces are worth? The churn does have a crack on the side, but it does not show through the inside. The jug has no cracks or chips, but has what appears to be a factory mishap on the front. Thanks for your help!
