Question:
Hello, I thank you for answering my questions before and if I may I have another. This crock belonged to my husband’s grandmother I thought I would ask about the approx. value is and if you could tell me more about Western Stoneware Co.? This piece is 13in in Diameter and a little over 12in in hieght. The crock also has handles. It has the number 5 on it and say it is Western Stoneware. The rim has some ware on it and it does have a sm hairline crack from the rim inside if that makes sense. The crack is about an inch long. I thank you for your time! Molly

Question:
I attended the recent red wing convention on thursday only, and bought two articles from street venders at the old pottery place. One was a lily pitcher and bowl set and the other was a red wing, red color large iris pitcher. I had my friend ship the three pieces from her husband’s company, (Microparts in Eagan Minnesota) through UPS. They weighed 22 pounds and were shipped with $1500 insurance. During shipping, the bowl of the pitcher and bowl set was damaged. (crack down the side, and hairline across the bottom of the side in a T shape.) UPS is saying to ship the set to them, where they will inspect for damage and determine whether or not it can be repaired, or "reordered". I feel that the pitcher and bowl set is valueless without both pieces in mint condition, so should ship both back to them. Can you help me establish their value within the 1500 insurance framework? Thank you Pauline Roll

Question:
Hello again, I am really hoping to start collecting RW Salt Glaze Jugs and I think I am starting to learn the correct shape and other things to look for (thumb press on the handle). To me, this jug appears to be RW. It is a 3 gallon, no chips or cracks and appears to have the thumb mark on the handle. Is it RW and what would the value be? You are great by the way – Thanks for providing this service.
