20 Gallon Birch Leave Crock with Koverwate and Lid

Question:
I have a Red Wing piece that on the front of it has a 20, four leaves, and beneath that inside of an oval the words Union Stoneware Company, Red Wing, Minnesota. It has no cracks and appears to me to be in perfect condition. It has curved handles on the sides that are actually part of the crock. I also have a round press that fits inside the crock that has the number 20 on it in blue curvy numbers and it has 1/2" holes in the bottom and on the sides. On one side of the press, inside of a box outlined in blue it says in blue lettering, "Koverwate – Use it when packing your meats Kraut Pickles and other foods put up in brine. It will save spoilage. Red Wing Union Stoneware Co., Red Wing, Minnesota." The press has no cracks or chips and appears to be in perfect condition. The crock also has a round lid with a petal design on the top and a handle knob in the center that has a 20 on it. The lid has no markings on it to indicate that it’s Red Wing but it fits the crock perfectly. The lid has one very small chip in it on the inside lip. I didn’t realize there were different types of glazes until I started reading your website so I am unsure what type of glaze it has. I am interested to know anything you can tell me about this piece, including its estimated value. If you need photos, let me know, and I will try to provide them. Thank you for your help. Vicki

Red Wing Collection

Question:
I am collecting Red Wing Crocks patented 1915 with a blue stamp and a large red wing, both with bail handles and with no handles. I was curious as to what all of the sizes are, so that I can complete my set. Did they make crocks of this type with bail handles under 4 gallons? Did they make a 7, 9, 11, 13, 14 gallon crocks? After 15 gallons does it only go up in 5 gallon increments? Also, the one gallon crock, was that made with a number one on it or only with the wing? I keep getting different answers from dealers, and so was curious what an actual expert had to say. Thank you for your time and consideration. Jaclyn

4 Gallon Salt Glaze Crock

Question:
HELLO. I WAS JUST WONDERING THE RARITY OF THIS PARTICULAR PATTERN. IT IS SOME STYLE OF FLOWER WITH WHAT I THINK TO BE THE LIKENESS OF A BEE HOVERING OFF JUST TO THE LEFT OF THE BLOSSOM. THIS CROCK IS NOT MARKED, HOWEVER, I CAN TELL FROM THE STYLE OF THE "4" MARKING THAT IT IS INDEED RED WING (NOT TO MENTION THE COBALT BLUE). I HAVE BOUGHT AND SOLD MANY CROCKS BUT HAVE YET TO COME ACROSS ONE LIKE THIS. PLEASE TELL ME ANYTHING YOU MAY KNOW ABOUT THIS CROCK. Thank you Jason
