Question:
I’d like to know something about a piece that came from my grandmother. It is marked Red Wing USA 1188 on the bottom. I believe it would be used for holding cut flowers. It is 5" high, 12" long and 7" wide. It is in good condition with some rust marks on the inside.

Answer: This piece is from 1943, there were several different shapes made with this particular pattern. some were overglazed with black, most with the brown. It could be considered a console bowl. Value around 40.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
