I inherited an antique T. Harrington Lyons crock/butter churn. The name is impressed into the front in blue. There is a 4 (I assume 4-gallon) and blue leaves/flower. It is 14" tall and 10" in diameter at the widest point. Do you know what this floral design would be called (what type of flower or leaves)? What would be the estimated value? In researching this, it appears to be from the mid to late 1850′s. Thank you, Sue.jpg)
This is for Al Kohlman, I have 5, gallon beehive stoneware jug I would like to know if it is a Red Wing, it just has the numeral 5, on it that is all. and what would it value be? Thanks Dennis
Thank you for the answer to my question about the jug. It is good to hear about the history of what I found. I wanted to send you another picture of the handle base to see if it is a Red Wing 3 gallon or not. Is it a Red Wing? Steve
Hello! I have a 4 gallon Red Wing Ice Cooler that was found in the basement of my 100-yr.-old home in Montana. I know very little about Red Wing pottery, and would appreciate ANY information you can provide about this piece. I am especially interested in knowing its age (are Ice Water Coolers older than Water Coolers?) and approximate value, given its condition. It does not have a lid or spigot (the cork is "original" to when I found the cooler). The back side is perfect. There are no chips along the rim or base. There is (unfortunately) a surface dent/crack that appears on the front of the cooler, just under the word "Ice"; it does not go through to the inside. There are about three glaze hairline cracks on the inside in random places; they also do not go through to the other side. The bottom is perfect, and strange to me, it has a small piece of newsprint that seems to have attached itself to the cooler maybe during production? It isn’t a label, but there are no loose edges. It seems very slightly embedded in the clay. Only a few words are legible (no dates). I am also wondering exactly what kind of lid would have been original to this model. Anyway, it’s not a perfect piece, but I love the size and the Red Wing logo/word graphics. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide; it’s very much appreciated! Rita
I have 2 crocks that belonged to my Grandmother, I am 64, so you now know how old these are. The 15 gallon one has no cracks, 1 small chip on top of rim, can’t see it to well in picture. The 12 gallon one has 1 crack about 4" long from the top, as seen in the picture. Could you tell me when these were made, and the current value. Thanks Joan
