Nokomis Pitcher, shape 207

Question:
This piece is 5 1/2" in diameter and 5 1/2" high. The opening is 2 1/4". Incised in the bottom is L08. Also on the bottom is a printed round blue label that says Red Wing (top of round) Pottery (bottom of round). In the center is a 3 character number of letters that I can’t really read but looks like 421. There are no chips of cracks on the pottery and it appears to be in perfect condition.
