Question:
I have been trying to find out what this item’s offical title is, with not luck. It is listed under "ink stamped" on one web site, but that is all I have been able to find out about it. Can you help? The bottom appears to have 179 on it.

Answer: This is a shape 179, early artware, made by Red Wing. Dates to around 1930 or so. It could be used as a pitcher, but it is really just part of the artware line. The glaze looks to be light green. Value is around 80.00 or so in good condition. thanks, steve n rose
