Question:
Hello,
I was wondering about the manufacturer of this crock. Is it Red Wing? How do you tell? It came from my grandmother’s farm (born 1901). I inherited it from my father. It’s in ok shape. The lip is sort of curved in and there is some discoloration. It measures approx. 9 1/2" W x 15" H. Thank you.
