Question:

Looking for information on this crock that I recently purchased at a moving sale. Not sure if it is Red Wing. There are no marking. It is a salt glaze. But I have not been able to find this particular design.  The design glaze is blistered. Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

Question:

What can you tell me about this churn and its value.

Thanks Joanne

Answer:

Joanne, nice looking Red Wing 8 gallon birch leaf churn.  I can see a large chip on the base.  If this is the only damage, your churn would have a value between $900 & $1000.  Any other damage such as a hairline or crack and the value will drop by quite a
bit.  Still a nice looking Red Wing churn.  Al Kohlman

Question:

My fall trip this year included a trip to the Pottery Place (again), the gift store with the potters, & my first visit to the museum…what a treasure all that was to see! Between that & the antique stores there, I’ve never seen so many Red Wing things in one place EVER!!! …..Oh to be independantly wealthy!

Can’t wait to see the new location…any idea when it will be open?

Attached is my newest RW addition. Whatever you can tell me about it would be delightful. Any idea on age?

I look forward to hearing from you, & thanks again for your gracious time & help :)

Warm Regards, Connie

Answer:

Connie, your Red Wing water cooler is the earliest of the water coolers.  Sometime between 1917 & 1920 or so.  It has the correct lid, but someone drilled a hole in the button which really hurts it’s value.  The size of this water cooler will be stenciled inside bottom of this cooler.  If the cooler is perfect it has a value around $500.  The lid,, maybe $150.  If there was no hole.  $500 to $700.  Al Kohlman
