Stoneware jug lamp

Question:
I was given this item in "lamp" form when a friend of mine was disposing of items from a family estate. I recognized it could have value, but it was foolishly converted by someone who was, well, a fool. I’d like to know what its value range is as both a perfect in tack piece and its current "hole in the side for the lamp cord". Hole is about 7/16". I guess that was the smallest drill they had? Heck maybe I’m the fool and that’s the way it was produced . . . for a spigot? One never knows, but it would probably be on the front not the side. Also how unusual or uncommon are these and was it made for a true purpose or as some mass collectable piece? Enclosed are 2 photographs (I hope). If the other didn’t make it then I’ll sed it when you respond. Thank you for your time, Doug Jamieson

4 gallon birch leave

Question:
My family found this crock at an auction. My sister-in-law who collects red wing crocks thinks that the elephant ears marking is characteristic of red wing. There are no cracks or chips in the crock and the only markings are the "4" and the elephant ears. Is this a red wing crock? If so, any idea of the value?
