12 gallon maple leaf crock

Question:
I have three stoneware pieces and would like to know if they are antique and what their value might be. The first one is very large it has been used for pickling, the other is a whiskey bottle, both are in great shape with no visiable flaws. The last one is about the same size as the whiskey bottle, but is a crock with no writing on it at all.

10 gallon birch leaf crock

Question:
Hi, I have a 10 gal birch leaf crock. The 2 7/8" oval shows "RED WING" not "UNION" as most of those that I have seen with the birch leaves on them. I know that MN stoneware and Red Wing merged in 1906 and the birch leaf pattern was dropped. There are no visible cracks, chips or spider lines. Can you tell me when you think this was produced? And its value? Do you think this was one produced about the time of the merger that would cause it to have one marking from each company? Thank you for your help! Jennifer

Turquoise and Brown Serving pieces

Question:
I have some dinnerware, turquoise plates with brown on the edge. Casserole dish, brown on the outside, turquoise on the inside, mugs, cups, teapot, small and large plates. I don’t need to know the exact value as I am just trying to figure out if they are Red Wing. I believe my aunt, who lived in Red Wing, may have given them to my grandmother in the 1940′s or 1950′s. Everything is packed so I don’t have a picture. If you can confirm that Red Wing made dinnerware in this color I will photograph at a later date. Thanks so much!
