Here is the 2nd Photo mentioned in the previous email. It is one of the back stamp and shape number. It is printed in Red ink and reads "REDWING HANDPAINTED U.S.A. 2124"
I have included 2 photos of a dish I currently have on consignment in my shop in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, Canada. (I will have to send 2 messages) I have tried to find the type of dish, its pattern on your site, but with no success. The stamp on the back seems to be a genuine Red Wing stamp with a shape number of 2124. I wasn’t able to find any reference to that shape number. Can you give me a little more information as to what type of dish it is. Also, the inside of the dish has a hand-scored grid texture applied to it. Shelley
Al, I got a nice 12 gallon and would like to get an estimate on it’s value. The only damages is a small 1/2" chip on the back side of one of the molded handles. The bail handles are not original to this crock. They were from another crock that was broken and put on with new nuts and bolts. Thanks, Chris
Al, Could you please give me an estimated value on this 3 gallon jug? It does have a 1/2" wide but shallow chip on top of the flat area of the shoulder, and a tiny ding with three faint cracks spreading out from the ding with a diamter about the size of a dime. Both flaws are off to the side and are not noticed when displayed. Thanks, Chris
I would like to have information on this jug,marked on the bottom "MINNESOTA STONEWARE CO RED WING MINNESOTA, 7 inches high.
Is this a ‘real’ Redwing pot? Approx. value, what kind of pot(what is it for), should it have a lid? Any idea of the age? It is 7 3/4" tall, 7 1/4" diameter,collar is almost 2" deep. There is one major crack. I don’t know anything about glazes. Thanks for any information you can provide.
I’ve got a large jug, 17 inches tall and 10 inches at the base, it weights about 19 pounds. It came to me from my grandmother, who lived in Ohio and Kentucky, that’s all I know about it. There are no maker marks that I can find, but there is a blue abstract design and some "drips". I’ve attached one pic, I have more if needed.
