Question:
I believe this is a salt glaze pot and resembled one of the pictures I saw in the red wing museum in lincoln, NE. the colbalt marking are raised and looked hand painted on. It is a 4 gallon I believe according to the marking. the piece is about 2 feet high. Can you give me an idea of the history or time period of the piece and an estimate of value. I have many more pieces and am looking to downsize my collection. Drew

What is the current value of a 2 gallon red wing water cooler with lid? The cooler is in mint condition with the spigot. The lid has some minor chips and a crack. This cooler is the type made in the 20′s and 30′s with the wire handles. Sorry no picture, but the markings are awesome. Jordan

Question:
I actually found this piece curbside in a small iowa town that was having a spring-clean-up pick up day by the city. I’m interested in the time period it was produced, the rarity/desirability of the item and a range of possible value. It is approximately 13" tall, 10" diameter (these are estimates form memory as I do not have the piece with me as I’m typing this up)and I wold conside rit tobe in excellent shape with no chips or cracks and the handle is intact–not sure if it was always open-mouthed or if it would have had a lid/cork, etc. Thanks in advance for your time! Seems I can only load one picture here so I’ll describe the bottom of the piece…it has embossed text that reads RED WING STONEWARE MINNESOTA

Question:
I have a Red Wing pottery piece, a chicken feeder or waterer. It is glazed with a khaki color, it is 7 inches tall and 5½ inches in diameter. On its side is an oval branding in blue, "RED WING Union Stoneware Co. RED WING: MINN." On the bottom (or top?) it has raised lettering at the margin, "PAT ‘D APRIL 7 1885". My dad was a hatchery-man in northeastern Nebraska, and that is how it came to me. I had it in my basement for years. I moved recently and rediscovered it when unpacking. That is when I went to the internet to see what I could find. I am grateful, in advance, for any information you may have. Kathryn
