Red Wing Stoneware 6 Gallon Glazed Crock
Featured in this lot is a six gallon red wing glazed crock originating from the early 20th century. Red Wing Union Stoneware, now Red Wing Pottery, refers to American stoneware, pottery, or dinnerware items made by a company that was initially set up in Red Wing, Minnesota in 1861 by German immigrant John Paul. The company changed its name several times until finally settling on Red Wing Potteries, Inc. in 1936. The pottery factory that started in 1861 continues to the present day under the names of Red Wing Pottery and Red Wing Stoneware. This crock is marked across the front, reading "6 - Red Wing - Union Stoneware Co. - Red Wing, Minn.", with some of the Union Stoneware covered; it is also marked "Patented Dec 21th 1915". The piece shows metal and wood carry handles on each side. The crock shows good condition overall, with a crack in the front and three iron bands across the piece. The piece measures 14 1/2" tall by 12 3/4" in diameter.
