Question:
I was just presented with an oak leaf (I think)serving dish with 1388 Red Wing USA on the back. It measures 14"l X 9"w 1"c, and is flat grey on the inside and a shiny chartreuse green on the outside. It’s in excellent condition, except for the 3 little marks on the back that held the piece when it was glazed and fired. What can you tell me about it? Does the pattern have a name? Are there any other matching pieces? Value? Gosh, I love the Internet!!! Donna Hirsch

Answer: Hi Donna, your bowl dates from 1949. There aren’t any matching pieces for it, just part of the general art pottery lines. The glaze is chartreuse lined with grey. Value is only around 20.00 or so. There are many other shapes with the same glaze, though. thanks, steve n rose
