Question:
I have a fairly good sized butter and beater jar crock collection with advertising on them plus r Red Wing and other named crocks in my collection. I have heard there is a different value placed on crocks based on if they’re firsts, seconds, etc. Can you give me more info as to what and how these gradings are done and how it affects values? What do I look for to determine if its a first or second grade crock for example? Thank your!

Hi, Three jugs here. Two of them I believe to be syrup jugs with different glazing. The brown one is two gallon with two seperate "lips" to pour from-front and side. Has some chips but no cracks. White beehive jug looks zinc glazed and in great condition. Small size,about 7 1/2 inches. The last 1 gallon jug has paper label from a Chicago company that sold Worchestershire Sauce. Never seen that label before,but I know paper labels are collectible. Any opinion on values? Thanks for your opinion.

Question:
Hi, and thanks in advance for you time. While helping clean out my mother inlawsa basement I came across this bowl. I think it is a red wing bowl, although it does not have a marking on it. With the bit I have reaad, they did some of this typeof advertising ware for several places in the Heartland. The diameteracorss the top is 7 inches the bottom is 3. It stands about 3 1/4 inches high. The name is Glenwood City. It took me bit to read but as she grew up there, I wonder if this may have even belonged to her mother. As to condition it has small scrtaches on the outside but i do not see and nicks or cracks. Not sure what else to add. Would lilke to know if it is indeed redwing. Could ask my nieghbor but I think that if it is redwing i may use as gift for her. She teaches my child piano and is a collector of red wing pottery. thanks agin

Question:
Hi there-Can you help me identify this piece of what we think is very old redwing pottery? The initials R.W.S.Co. are imbedded on the front. It has what looks like a 6 painted on the front with a line underneath it with a pretty blue leaf below it. It has a black-brown salt glaze inside. It measures 14.5" tall and 12.5" across. It has the original wires around the base (a double wire), and just under the rim. The handles look like they’re kind of built in to the side of the crock. It’s really beautiful and I’d love to know more about it. Maybe where it came from, the age, and approx value? Thanks so mcuh for your help! I really appreciate it!
