Question:
My husband picked this up for $5.00 at a Church Sale. Can you tell us what it is worth? It says Minnesota Stoneware Co. Red Wing on the bottom, it stands 9.5 inches tall and 10 inches across, it is a chocolate brown on the inside and tan colored on the outside. It has a red blotch "wing?" on the back. It has one chip on the rim, a foundry flaw on the rim and the crack in the picture doesn’t go all the way through, just through the glazing. Thanks for your help. Julie

Question:
I have a 20 gallon salt glaze unmarked red wing crock I am interested in selling. The piece has a significant crack which goes through the whole wall of the crock on the back side. I realize that cracks effect the value of any piece. Can you tell me if there is any value to the piece I have mentioned? See photos. (for some reason I can only send one photo at at a time, I will submit another photo right after this one) Thanks, Selina

Question:
This is a display from the Utah bottle show of all of the known companies and sizes known to still exist in the screw top fruit jars with the Utah advertising. I’d like to know if others are known. It took four collectors to come together to make this display. I own the Sandy (one known), Kaysville (one known), 1/4 gal. Bountiful (two known) and just worked out a deal for the 1/2 ga. Farmington (one known). There is only one known Tremonton. The Bountiful 1/2 gal. has the one mint one and one glued together. At this time, only rumors of others exist. Was wondering about the value of these pieces. I collect Utah advertising stoneware and really like those Red Wing pieces. I purchased the Red Wind special order book and see there could be other Utah screw top jars. They are extremely hard to find! I could use some original lids if you are aware of a source.
