Matte Black oval shape

Question:
I picked up a lovely piece of Red Wing Pottery – clearly marked on the bottom. It is a mat black color. It is oval, about 12" x 6" x 3" high. It has an undulating rim made up of four curled lips, three curling in and one curling out. The guy at the store only knew it was Red Wing and that someone told him it had something to do with handkerchiefs. A handkerchief bowl? A handkerchief vase? To me it looks Art Nouveau… can you help identify it? Thanks in advance! JIm

Answer: Hi Jim

this glaze dates to the late 50′s, and I’, sure it’s a Murphy design, he did lots of the amorphic shapes. Not sure about the handkerchief story, it’s just a console bowl. Value is around 25.00 or so. thanks, steve n rose
