Vase 679, blue

Question:
Cobalt Blue (exterior) vase Red Wing U.S.A. 679 on bottom. Excellent condition. The inside is a green/yellowish glaze. Estimated around 12-14 inches high. It looks like it has a two "pointed leaf" pattern that runs vertical with a smaller "leaf" on top of a larger leaf. After about the top 5" inches the vase widens and the second leaf starts. The pattern is around the circumference of the vase at the top and continues about half the height. The bottom half is plain.

Answer: This dates from around 1960, and came in a few different glazes. Value is around 65.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

Brown top jug with star

Question:
Attached please find a picture of a crock we found in a house we purchased in 2007. I tried to research the symbol on the side and found a listing referencing the North Star Stoneware Company. Very interesting history. Wondering if you can identify the symbol – a circle with a star in the middle and a smaller circle within the star and the number 3 within the smaller circle. The crock is half brown on the bottom and a glazed gray(?) on the top half. We have the lid that goes with it as well. If you need additional info., please let us know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
