Hello. I was so glad to find your site. I know very little about stoneware, but am eager to learn. The jug is 16 1/2" high and 10" in diameter at the base. The sides are flared, not strait from the base to where it cures. The opening itself is 1 1/2", it measures 2 1/4" with the total lip and opening. It appears to be the number 8 on the side with curvey lines that extend from the middle of the 8. There is a small brownish dripping near the 8 figure and another dripping brownish/green on the opposite side, about the same distance down from the top of the jug. From reading I have done on your site, I understand that drippings do not mean it is Red Wing. I think, but do not know , if it is a salt glaze. I am hoping you can tell me more about the piece. Although I live in New York State, I purchased the jug at an auction and was told it came from an estate in Wisconsin. I thought it was a nice piece, and something about it was appealing. It is larger than most jugs I have seen. I hope the pictures help, I know my description is not very good. I would like to know more about the jug, and of course if I made a good buy, or am just the village idiot. I suppose both could be true. Regardless, I like the jug. Thank you for any help you can provide. All The Best, Randy
I have a set of 5 small chicks. They are all glazed in different colors. The markings are odd and I am almost certain that there are numbers on them although very very faint. I am thinking maybe these were samples of colors? One is distinctly marked R Wing. I appreciate your expert opinions. The pieces are WHITE underglazed but one of them does show the clay coloring to be a light brownish/beige color. Thanks! Theresa
Hello, I thank you for answering my questions before and if I may I have another. This crock belonged to my husband’s grandmother I thought I would ask about the approx. value is and if you could tell me more about Western Stoneware Co.? This piece is 13in in Diameter and a little over 12in in hieght. The crock also has handles. It has the number 5 on it and say it is Western Stoneware. The rim has some ware on it and it does have a sm hairline crack from the rim inside if that makes sense. The crack is about an inch long. I thank you for your time! Molly
