Question:
Hi I recently purchased a button lid it is 23 inches wide and the inner rim is 17 1/2 inches. It is very solid but does have a X crack that does go through the lid the lid is not marked with a size. I was wondering if the lid is red wing and if you could give me an idea of the size and a value of what it might be worth? thank you paul

Question:
What could I sell this Redwing crock for? I have had it ‘forever’ and it got cracked in one of our moves across the country. It has Dec 21, 1915 on side. My husband put a wire around the top to help hold it together but I think it only takes away from its beauty. Thanks for your advice!

Question:
I was given a salt glaze 4 gallon crock that I was told is Northstar. It is in super condition. It has some very minor roughness on one handle. I was told that the color variation in the salt glaze is typical of the Northstar Stoneware Co. & I was told that the albany slip glaze used on the interior of the Northstar crocks were inferior to that used by the Minnesota Stoneware Co. or the Red Wing Stoneware Co.thus causing this variation in color. Crock is in perfect condition, there are NO lines in this crock to cause these color variations. It has a great multi colored interior. NO base chips,NO rim chips,NO hairlines. It just has typical manufacturing flaws. Photos of the handle, interior and front are attached.
