Salt Glaze crock with blue decoration -Meade Ohio

Question:
Hello! In the process of cleaning out my grandmother’s garage attic, I came across a 4G crock (pic attached). It very closely resembles the Red Wing crock; however, there are no markings and I have a few concerns. First, the handles do not appear to be in the correct position for a RW. In addition, the crock is a gray/blue color. I am certain this is old, as no one has dared go into the attic in nearly 50 years. The only chip is seen in the picture and there are no cracks. If this is not a Red Wing crock, would you have an idea of the maker? Thank you so much for your time. It is GREATLY appreciated! Jean Kennedy, Muskegon, MI Jean
