Question:
The Advertising says: ‘READY TO SERVE, SEVERIN MATTSON, GENERAL MERCHANT, BRAHAM, MINN.” By the spout, between the advertising and the spout, there is a slight deglaze line about 3/4 inch long, you can’t see it on the pictures, otherwise the pitcher is in excellent condition. Does the deglaze line devalue the pitcher’s value?
Sincerely , Jon
Answer:
Jon, you have a zinc glazed Red Wing gray-line pitcher (also called sponge band) with advertising. That de-glazed line does not affect its value. These pitchers are down a little. $275 to $350. Al Kohlman
