Hey, from Atlanta. My mother in law is from Red Wing, when she moved she gave me this rather large container.

Question:
I am inquiring about an item described to me as a "pickle top" It is grey clay, fits on top of a 10 gal crock. It is "bowled or rounded in the bottom, top edge is more like a weight. At the edge there is a molded piece which holds a hinge which has hardward attached that holds a glass cover. The cover is meant to be lifted so that a pickle can be removed from the brine. There is no mark on the piece but it is the red wing grey clay color. It also has blue lettered advertising from a store with branches in Boston and Chicago. Any ideas? I have searched all the books I have so am turning to you. I donot have a picture at this time as I just saw this piece and am interested in it because have never seen on linke it. But, would like it to be red wing before considering a purchase. Thanks for any help you can offer. Bob

Question:
I have a crock, with the ‘Union’ Oval beneath a big 10 (for 10 gals I presume) and two leaves beneath. My father used it to make beer and root beer in the early 50s and my guess is that he bought it after the war. My question is whether it is safe to use, e.g. does it contain lead, etc. I’d like to use it but my wife is worried that back then they didn’t pay attention to such issues.

Question:
Is all Red Wing pottery marked? I have two beater jars. One is the sponge with advertising and marked Redwing usa and the other is the grey with two blue bands and is not marked. They are the same size and appear to be of the same mold. I also have jugs of various sizes and some are not marked. Thank you. Sandy

Question:
I just purchased these crocks from an estate sale ($50/crock) I would like to know the name of each and if I paid the right price. Also, are they really red wing???? On the salt glaze, there is about a 8" crack on the side that you can hopefully see in the pics I sent. Thanks for your time, I appreciate it.

Question:
I have the Redwing stoneware covered cookie jar. It is round with a sponge band and the word cookies on it.It says Redwing on the bottom.It’s about 8-10 inches around and about 7-8 inches high. I’m guessing on the size since it is packed away. The condition is very good with no damage or cracks. I also have a milk pitcher with the same sponge band. It is about 10 inches tall also in very good shape. Thanks, Carole
