Brown Brushed Ware small planter
Question:
This little pot is ony 2 1/2" tall. The look on the exterior and the painted interior look like Brush Ware, but I am not sure. Is this Red Wing, and if so is there a name to the pattern. Thanks for your help. Ken
Answer: Hi Ken
it’s similiar to a Red Wing flower pot, but I don’t think this one is. Still cute, and I think old, but I’m not sure who made it. Wish I could be of more help, thanks, steve n rose
