This measures 11.25" handle to handle; 9" bowl length; 6.75" bowl width; 2 1/2" bowl heighth; the markings on the bottom state "Red Wing USA M-1493" It is pink in color with gray specks. I appreciate your help. Thanks ahead of time. LM

This bowl was designed by Charles Murphy, circa 1955. The glaze is called fleck Zephyr pink. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
