Question:
These two miniature 2 3/4" high stoneware jugs look like souvenirs of the St. Louis expo in 1901 (although the expo. was in Buffalo, NY that year, and not held in St. Louis until 1904). The wording is hand applied glaze done after the firing of the jugs. The color of the wording matches exactly to the glaze of the jugs, and was no doubt done by someone at the company when the jugs were made. I am 99% sure they are Red Wing. They have the same shape, color of glaze, color of stoneware, and the "feel" of Red Wing when you pick them up. My questions are: have you seen anything like them made by Red Wing, would they be souvenir pieces created for the St. Louis 1901 expo, or were they linked somehow to St. Louis, Minnesota, which changed its name to St. Louis Park around 1901 (so as not to be confused with St. Louis, Missouri)? Also, what they would be worth. They are in extremely good condition with no cracks, chips, etc., except for the hand-applied glaze has worn off of one of the jugs. Thanks for any info! Vicki.

Question:
I was just given a bean pot from my grandmother and she claimed to it belonging to her mother. I fear it sounds common by reading your prior answers :) but she would like to know year made. It is a pot that is half white (bottom side) and brown with blue crown that has a 2 in the center. I see no usa markings or anything on the bottom. It does have small handle.

Question:
Hello. I purchased this milk jug at an estate,thinking it was an early Red Wing piece. After getting it home and paging through many books I could find nothing to compare it to. The spongeware is brown and green,the body is ribbed and the exterior advertising is raised and actually made from the same stoneware unlike the stamped advertising you usually see. The pitchers dimensions are 4.5" x 4"W x 6" from spout to end of handle. Any help given as to identification would be helpful.Kind regards-Jennifer
