Question:
My daughter was looking on the internet for information on crocks and came across your website. I have a crock that she thinks is a Red Wing crock. It is 10 1/2" deep, 10 1/2" across the top. The color is a tan with flecks of blue or brown all through it. The design on the front is blue and looks like a 3 with swirls below. There is some kind of black/blue drips of somethin on the front of it. It has handles on both sides. The inside is brown glazed. There are a few cracks on the sides. I bought this at a garage sale and paid $5 for it. Can you give me any information on this? Thank you Diane

Stoneware pitcher with grapes cluster with rickrack
Question:
I have a pitcher that has been in my husband’s family forever. It has a dark brown glaze with a grapes and vine pattern over waffle-like squares and rickrack trim on top and bottom. It’s 9 1/4" tall with a handle. It’s in great condition except it has a few spots where it looks like the glaze was thin or had a bubble and you can see the pottery now (see lower front in photo). Oh, and there is a star impressed on the bottom. Any info on this pitcher is appreciated. Thank you, Sandee

Round Up Follow up on markings
Question:
Hi, again. I emailed a question about an hour ago regarding my dinnerware. After reading previously answered questions, I see that my questions had been anwered already regarding the value of my dinnerware which are apparently ALL round-up (dinner plates have picture of chuck wagon and all other peices have some one cooking or sitting on a fence.) I was curious about the difference in the stamps in this series. I had only one with an actual depiction of red wings along with the words Red Wing while the others were all stamped without the wings – only words. This has been a very informative site and I have enjoyed seeing the wide variety of Red Wing collections. I love the little hostess tea pots. I can see why there is so much excitement in the collecting there of. Thanks for the service you provide. ~Becky

Round Up Collection
Question:
About 15 years ago, my aunt gave me a set of dinnerware which we have been casually using since then. Today, I just happened to be curious about them and discovered they are Red Wing Round Up. I have 7 11" Round up dinner plates (1 with small chip) numbered 121; all the rest are chuck wagon: 4 8" salad plates numbered 139; 1 6 1/2" saucer #32; one cup no #; 1 6 1/2" Bread plate(?) with a red-winged stamped #33L (I think)it also is thinner than the others with more brown specks; 4 6 1/2" Bread plate(?) #211; 3 small bowls #131; 2 tall salt & pepper shakers; a large platter; relish tray and a small one handle caserole with a little lip/spout & lid; a two handled small casserole with lid. (unfortunately, one handle is broken).I also have a tall lid 3 3/4" tall X 3" wide but not sure what it went to. Except where mentioned, there are no chips or cracks. With that discription, any idea of worth? I can send pictures if you are interested.
See the above question she found her answers, but the next question wants to know about the markings. I thought you would want to see that she did search.
6 gallon large wing with wing and lid
Question:
I have a Redwing Crock that has the number 6 stamped on it with a 4” wing. It also has the Patented stamp on the side dated Dec 21, 1915. This piece has the original lid for it with the 5 and 6 stamped on the top, also has the original handles for the crock. There are no cracks or chips on it. This piece is in excellent shape and condition. I was wondering how much you thought that this would be worth. I have enclosed a picture to show you the shape and structure that it is in.
