Unlike almost every major auction house in the country, we handle our own shipping in-house. We understand how frustrating it can be to have to work with third-party shippers to have your objects delivered to you. Meanwhile, we also understand how important it is for you to receive your objects safely. We have over 40 years of experience safely packing antique ceramics. By default your invoice will include a shipping total via UPS Ground; you can also, of course, pick up objects at our gallery. Please feel free to contact us if you would like a quote. (A very few lots will have notes at the end of their descriptions letting you know that the object is too big or fragile for us to handle shipping ourselves.)

Rare Twenty-Gallon Stoneware Crock, Marked Twice "RED WING / UNION STONEWARE CO. / RED WING, MINN.," circa 1909, cylindrical crock with semi-rounded rim and Bristol-slip-glazed surface, marked on the front and side with a large cobalt "20" above a red-colored wing and the blue oval maker's mark, "RED WING / UNION STONEWARE CO. / RED WING, MINN." It is believed that the red-colored wing motif came into use around 1909, this example featuring exceptional size and rare double application of its marks. Very nice condition with two base chips, which appear to be in-the-firing, as well as some small in-the-firing pings to surface. H 20".

Special Note: Due to this object's large size, we are unable to ship it using our normal in-house shipping service. It must either be picked up by the high bidder, or special arrangements must be made by the high bidder for pick up and / or shipping by a third party. If you have any questions, please contact us; we are certainly able to recommend options for third party shippers ahead of time that you can contact for a quote.
