I don't know if there is any evidence of Red Wing making a spongeware water cooler. Maybe Paul or someone else is aware of one. I know that Western Stoneware made blue sponge straight sided water coolers in a couple of different sizes. Some were marked with a the maple leaf mark others were not. There are also a number of eastern potteries that made sponge decorated water coolers in various shapes and sizes. A picture could help to identify where it came from. I would suspect that it isn't a Red Wing product.
