Stoneware pitcher with spongeware

Question:
Hello. I purchased this milk jug at an estate,thinking it was an early Red Wing piece. After getting it home and paging through many books I could find nothing to compare it to. The spongeware is brown and green,the body is ribbed and the exterior advertising is raised and actually made from the same stoneware unlike the stamped advertising you usually see. The pitchers dimensions are 4.5" x 4"W x 6" from spout to end of handle. Any help given as to identification would be helpful.Kind regards-Jennifer

Gypsy Trail pieces?

Question:
At my parents cabin is a set of colorful Redwing dishes that we had thought were FiestaWare. Upon careful examination, we noticed some are imprinted Redwing and dated 1936. The dishes have are in cobalt blue, turquiose, yellow, and orange. There are about 6 plates, suacers, teacups, B&B plates as well as creamer and sugar. Is there any value to these or shall I donate them to a Goodwill Center?
