Minnesota Stoneware Co. Redwing Minn crock, bottom marked

Question:
Hi, I don’t recall where I aquired this crock,but it is unlike any I have ever seen. I believe it is a one gal size, & it says Minnesota Stoneware Co. Redwing Minn on the bottom. There are no markings on the outside as there are on most redwing pottery. Just wondering about the value & rarity. Thanks,Brian

Red Wing Stoneware beginner questions

Question:
I am pretty new at collecting Red Wing, (some of my collection were gifts/hand me downs from family), so this is probably an extremely basic question but I am hoping you can help me out…or at least give me an idea of a good resource. What is the difference between the sizes of the red ‘Red Wing’ logo? I have a couple of crocks and a butter churn with a larger wing and a couple of crocks with a smaller wing. Is this due to where it was made, or time in Red Wing Pottery history? Does it change the value at all? (though I collect for the love of the pottery, not so much for the price value) Thank you for your time, Lynn
