someone told me this crock was a Red Wing, salt glazed single "P" target from 1897-1900, and someone else told me that this was a "P" target with a "ribcage" 1897 or earlier, I can’t seem to find a picture on any website that has one of these crocks that look like mine, so I am unable to determine who is correct lol thanks for your time, have a great day! also the crock measures 12 1/2 inches accross the lid and 12 inches in height.

Question:
My mother has a #20 crock she would like to get a price for. The crock has a hair line crack on the front and a crack in the bottom. I can provide more pictures if it will help. Thanks Sue
Question:
I have a "set" of Red Wing Pottery that I received from my mother. It’s made up of a combination of pieces from "Roundup" and "Chuck Wagon".
Including: 8 salad plates, 1 with small blemish, 1 that has been cracked and glued. The numbers are 223? chipped, 331? cracked, 213 or 218, 218, 228, 2x 319. 1 number is only half printed.
8 dinner plates in very good condition 3x 129, 5x 319.
3 serving dishes
10 cups, 1 cracked but not all the way through, I think, no numbers.
10 saucers, 2x 116, unknown, 2x probably 319 or 229, 4x 229, 319
If you send me an email I will reply with link to a folder on MyPictureTown that will have all the pictures made of the Red Wing pottery. I assume that the numbers are of the different painters that made the pieces. True? What’s the best place to sell these items? eBay? Or auction in a gallery somewhere? Can you point me to a gallery, I would guess that a gallery in MN would be best, but what do I know? Thank you very much, Max
Question:
20 gallon salt glazed w/elephant ear handles, brown glaze inside, two lazy 8 marks, one above the other. Looks more like bees, with horizontal lines through the "wing" part. Not marked Red Wing, is it Red Wing and what would the value be. No cracks or chips. Thanks Joe
Question:
I saw the post about singsuper glue to repair a crack. My wife has a Redwing 10 gallon crock she got from her deceased granny. I wasn’t careful and dropped a log on it causing a large 4"x4" pie shaped piece to break off the bottom. Is super glue appropriate to reattach that? Thanks, Jim
Answer: I usually apply liquid Super Glue to the crack and apply a tourniquet to the crock for 24 hours. After the glue as dried (do not wipe Super Glue when wet or you will get a white film on your piece that is very hard to remove) I use a razor blade to remove any excess. Just make sure you read the label on the glue to make sure it does not affect any food you may process in your crock. Al Kohlman

The decoration on the outside almost looks like peacock feathers/eyes. Any ideas???
Answer: Hello, your vase was designed in 1942, the glaze may be coronation purple. Value is around 60.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
