Your piece is probably not a Redwing piece. Many of the Midwest potteries made them. Robinson Pottery in Ohio and Western Stoneware along with Macomb Stoneware to mention a few.
I have a plain one with no advertising that I picked up a couple of months ago at an estate sale that is bottom signed Red Wing Stoneware. It is the only one I have ever seen signed and was quite suprised to find it.
To make a long story short these things do not sell very well as they are hard to display or use for anything other than their intended purpose which of course no one uses them for any more. Value is really minimal as a result. I have seen auctions where no one will bid on them at all. The one I just bought that is signed I paid I believe $5.00 for. Its probably not worth much more than $20.00.
That's as close as I can come to a value. Hope that helps.
