Question:

 

I am interested in what type of markings North Star pottery has, whether it be a logo, lettering(stenciled or stamped), or bottom stamped.  Any and all info you can give us on this matter will be appreciated. 

 

Thanks, Jim and Penny

Answer:

North Star used a plain star—both raised and indented stars were used.  Also used with both stars were the letters N-O-R-T-H within the stars.
A more fancy mark was the word NORTH, a star, and RED WING and MINN.  Lids are believed to have a raise star on the knob or a star surrounding the lid knob.
