4 gallon Red Wing Jug

Question:
I have just inherited a 4 gallon Red Wing Pottery Stoneware jug that appears to be in great shape according to my untrained eye. I am wondering if you have any idea as to the value and the best way to sell it? I am in Vancouver, BC but very close to Bellingham, WA. I can send more photo’s if required. Thanks for your help!

7 inch bowl with RWS Co marking, milk bowl

Question:
I just purchased this 7" bowl with "RWS Co" marking on the bottom.It has a approx. 1" band around th top. It is in good condition, no cracks or chips to the outside surface, altho there is a very small black mark on the inside of the bowl, and spider like lines on the bottom that do not go all the way thru the bowl. I am just curious as to it’s age, type of glaze and worth. (I paid 35 cents for it). Thanks Beverly

5 gallon butter churn, with damage

Question:
I have a butter churn that was my Grandmothers. It has a number 5 on the top. The logo in the middle says……

Red Wing

Union Stoneware

Co.

Red Wing, Minn.

There is a circle around that logo.

The Red Wing is at the bottom of the churn.

The condition is not that great. It has been broken in three pieces, and glued. But the surface is good. I’m not looking for a price of worth so much, mostly the history of how old it is. I do thank you for you information about this piece. Thank you Terry
