Question:
We have a large blue stoneware bowl that is stamped on the bottom RWS Co. It has a wide 1.5" band around the top of it. The color is medium sky blue, but you can see some light green showing through. I don’t know if it is discoloration or was made that way. Also, there is no glaze around the very top rim. It looks sand colored. We are guessing it was made this way because it does not look like the glaze chipped off. We received the bowl from my husband’s grandmother who used it when making bread. She died in late 1988 at age 103. We will keep the bowl in the family, but would like to tell our family a little about it. Does this sound like the type of bowls made by your company in the past? How much should we insure it for? We are guessing $50. Thank you. Nanci

Question:
Red Wing Experts, I purchased this half gallon advertising jug last month in Grand Island, NE. I’m unable to find it in any of my Red Wing books. It has a very small base chip, but no cracks. It has some interesting mathmatical inventory(?) calculations which were scratched into the wet clay on the bottom of the jug. I paid $20.22. Could you please tell me if this is indeed a Red Wing jug and also what you think it might be worth? Thanks, Bret

Question:
Hi, I recently came across a #10 Red Wing crock, photos of which are attached. The crock is in very good shape overall with rusting on the handles and some pit marks being the major problems. No cracks at all. The only usual thing (at least to me) is the addition of a imprint just below and before the right side handle which says, "patented December 21, 1915" Was this a common practice? Would you have an idea of the value? Thanks for looking. Tom Hess

Question:
I was wondering if you could help me value the lid I have that I believe is Red Wing. It is a 50 gallon pedal lid that I believe is salt glaze. It has the bail handle that is in excellent condition. It was my mothers and she just loved it! It is 24” in diameter and in great condition with only 2 very surface chips on the underside rim of the lid. It also has a straw mark that is impressed in the underside of the rim which I show in my picture. It is not a crack. The underside is not brown. Is it true that these lids are only salt glaze if they have the underside in the brown Albany slip? It has the number 50 impressed in the pedal design. Any help you could give me would be appreciated. I have the Red Wing catalogue but it says that the larger ones are hard to find. Thanks! Nina Goss mng825nc@aol.com, 716-773-1224.

Question:
I purchased a 20 gallon Red Wing crock at a farm sale about 13 to 14 years ago. I don’t know a lot about Red Wing, but I loved this piece. It is in beautiful condition–the interior glaze is the same color as the exterior. The only "damage" is a small(about 1 inch) shallow chip along the interior rim. The birch leaf is bold and bright, as you can see from the picture, as is the "oval" identifying the manufacturer at the bottom. Can you tell me more about this crock and its possible value? Thank you!
