Question:
Hi Al, Can you please tell me the approximate year this 15 gallon was made and it’s value? The only damage is a small chip on the handle (see separate picture). Also, the stamping is not center with the handles. They are off to the left a little. Does this affect the value of the crock? Thanks, Chris

Question:
Hello, I bought a saltglazed 10 gallon jug with what I believe a target 8 design in colbalt blue at a garage sale. The owner only said it belonged to grandmother and knew nothing else about it. It stands about 19 1/2 or 20" inches tall. No cracks or chips, maybe just some tiny flaws in the firing glaze. It is a carmel brown color. It also has a initial "H" stamped (impressed) on the backside. Could this be Redwing? I can send you a picture later if you really need it. Thanks, Pam

Question:
Hello! I lived in Owatonna, MN for many years and I inherited two 7 inch, ribbed, blue and brown spongware bowls from my Mom. Yes, she told me they were valuable and to be careful with them!

Each bowl has ‘Red Wing Oven Ware’ in blue on the bottom, and I also see a marking, 7 c (??), stamped into the clay of each bowl on the bottom.

I’d appreciate if you can estimate the date these were made and their value and if known. They seem very similiar but have slightly different coloring,finish, etc. – maybe they were made and fired at different times?

Apprciate you help and this is a great site! Best regards, Monica
