Concord beverage servers different sized covers

Question:
I collect the iris pattern in the concord line. I was in need for a lid for my coffee pot, and purchased a blossom time pot and lid to use the lid. my surprise was that the lid was smaller than I needed. the blossom time pot has a lip on the top for the lid to ride on, and my iris was not made with this lip. Was there a change in production, or was my pot made to not have a lid? thanks Daniel

“Streamlined” pitcher, part of Gypsy Trail

Question:
My 85 year old mother-in-law recently passed away, and I found a pitcher I’m curious about: 1. It’s marked RED WING POTTERIES, INC.,DESIGN PAT PENDING, USA on bottom. 2. Color is "mustard yellow". 3. It’s not a "ball" pitcher (shape is more oval), and not a tea pot (no lid).But most interestingly, handle is on top, not side, and stretches entirely over the opening where you would pour liquid into it. It has a separate "spout" for pouring . Apologize for no photo, I’m not very "tech" savvy, but may be able to get my young son to help me post one if needed. 4. Condition is "good" (no chips or cracks), but color is uneven (age?). P.S. She was originally from Georgia, and walked to Fla. with her entire family around 1930 searching for work. Thank you in advance for your time, Sincerely, C. Starling
