Question:
I have a 4 gallon red wing crock – picture attached. No writting on the bottom. It is in perfect condition – no cracks etc. nothing until a repairman dropped his tool on it, so I need to know what it was worth. I have had it for some time.

6 gallon salt glaze leaf crock

Question:
I was wondering about the value of the crock we found at an antique store for $100. I believe it’s worth more than the asking price. It has beautiful markings, and is stamped (pressed into the clay on the backide) "Red Wing Stoneware Company". The only flaws are a couple small chips right next to one another on one of the side handles, see the left handle in the picture. There are no cracks, etc. The top and bottom edges are like new. Thank you for any information you can give me. Wade

Red Wing 157 Vase

Question:
The last time i heard the value of this vase was 7 years ago and at that time it was 270 dollars, i guess i have 2 questions 1. whats the actual value today. 2. how would you describe it if you where going to sell it. The number on the bottom is 157. Thanks for your time and i hope the picture i sent is not to large. Josh

Answer: Hi Josh

You didn’t mention a size, this one comes in 3 different heights, 9,12, and 15". It’s an early Red Wing artware item, from around 1930, the glaze is called combination green and white. I think 270.00 may be a bit on the high side, now. Maybe 225.00. Still a nice vase. thanks, steve n rose
