The Red Wing stoneware companies used zinc oxide to provide a brilliant white glaze for their wares. This glaze is commonly referred to as Zinc Glaze. The companies gradually phased in this new glaze from around 1895 to 1900 to replace the salt glaze. After 1900, all stoneware from Red Wing was glazed this way.

The Red Wing stoneware companies produced jugs in standard sizes ranging from less than one pint to twenty gallons. Jugs were used by homesteaders, schools and businesses alike to store every type of liquid imaginable.
