Question:
I wrote to ask about a piece already. I have more info to add. The piece does say Union in the little oval. It is about the size of a 5 gal bucket, but it does have a crack on the back side that runs from the lip about half way down. The crack goes all the way through the crock. Can it be repaired? Does it have any value? It has the red wing and the #6 on it.

Question:
I have my mother’s dutch girl cookie jar. She is 11" high and is primarily yellow with brown trim. She has the typical winged dutch hat, braids, puffy sleeves and an apron with scalloped trim. She has very good original color but is chipped in a couple places. I am having an estate sale and am wondering what I should ask for her. Thank you.

Do you recommend a stoneware restorer ?
