50 gallon red wing crock with the lid

Question:
Hi, I have a 50 gallon red wing crock with the lid.

We’ll start with the lid. It had (2) inch and a half long and inch deep chips in the rim that have beed puttied up. There are also 2 crows feet in the glaze on top that don’t go through to the other side. The handle is missing.

Now the crock. It has a ski oval with nice markings. There’s a 5 inch super tight hairline on back starting at the rim. There is also a hairline crack going down the front about 3 inches to the right of the markings. The crack isn’t too wide and has been super glued so it’s stable. The crack goes 3/4 the way down, but you can only see it about 1/3 of the way down because it gets soo tight you need to get right up to it to notice it.

Sorry, no pictures. What is the value. Thanks!!!!! Jordan

Charles Murphy piece M-1565

Question:
Hi, a friend has a charles Murphy piece M-1565.It is fleck nile blue. Is this considered a vase or pitcher? It looks like a water pitcher to me. Also, is there any other pieces that should go with it? Thanks for this service, Joanne

Answer: Hi Joanne

it is a pitcher form, but it’s considered art pottery, not dinnerware. It really doesn’t belong with any other shapes, just part of a general line, circa 1957. Va;lue is around 50.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose

5 piece albany slip bowl set, covered casserole and a Chocolate pot

Question:
I have a 5-piece set of pottery – three graduated bowls, a covered casserole, and a "chocolate pot". The set is brown with a green band and was purchased in the 1930′s by my father for his mother. Some of the pieces are labeled "red wing USA", but others of the set do not have any markings. All the pieces are in factory condition. Do I have "real" Red Wing pottery? If so, what do you estimate the value of the set? Nancy
