History,
Red Wing / Union Pottery introduced the Red Wing Logo around 1906, it was first issued at 6-inches wide, then reduced to 4-inches wide, and then to the more common 2-inch-wide logo.
The Blue Oval Logo at the base tells a more accurate timeline on when the crock was produced. This is the #7 design of the oval which was used approximately between 1918 and 1930.
With the combination of the 4-inch wing and the #7 logo, this crock dates approximately to the 1920s.
