Question:
Hello, Thanks for your help! I have a pitcher with the impressed marking RED WING U.S.A. 2313. It stands roughly 9/1/4 inches tall. The coloring goes from a dark green at the base to a dark blue to white. As the coloring changes from green to blue the is like a "wave" or "drip" if you will all around that is only slighly raised. Going from blue to white it’s as if a light brush stroke was used to ease the transition. Unfortunately, it has two chips and the base of the handle has been glued. My dad was originally from Minnesota so I’m wondering if it wasn’t a wedding gift from a relative or friend from that area. Please advise…thanks!

Answer: Your pitcher is from the anniversary line, 1953. It’s an overlay glaze. Not worth much with the damage, though. thanks, steve n rose
