| Dates | Creation: Approximately 1900 - Not later than 1947 In an 11/15/1895 price list for the Union Stoneware Company there is a mention of several products, including shoulder jugs available in the white glaze (Bristol or zinc glaze). But it appears that the white glaze finish did not become a staple of production in Red Wing until about 1900. The top of the jug has a brown ware or Albany slip glaze finish. |
