Question:
Thought this was a mid 1900′s piece of Red Wing by the back stamp on the bottom, but after researching your website I’m not so sure. It is covered all over with deep cobalt blue sponging, as well as two vertical cobalt bands near the top and bottom of the crock. The lid is sponged as well, with a petal design embossed around the raised top knob, and two cobalt blue bands at the outer edge. The underside of the lid is impressed with the initials J.F.S. This crock measures 9 inches high with the lid, 7 1/2 inches high without the lid, and measures 6 inches in diameter at the top.

The bottom is ink stamped with a dark blue circular stamp that reads: RED WING STONEWARE CO., RED WING, MN around the outer edge of the circle, and it has the "Wing" in the center of the circle.

Question:
Hello To All,
I have is lamp.. with an awesome glaze. At first I thought it was Stangl with a Rust glaze. Another collector was visiting and we were doing show and tell with mystery pots and out came this lamp. He said right off.. Redwing.. and the glaze is super rare.. thus may question.. Can you clear up the mystery? Is this a Redwing lamp.. The lamp shape is indeed in the Ray Reiss book on page 94 lower left.. with number 24B.. this lamp itself is numbered 1094. I can not find any examples of this glaze on any item in the Reiss book..
Thank You in Advance
R.Burns
