Question:
I have a full set of 12 of the Iris pattern with many regular serving pieces and a few unusual (several lunch plates with cup holders) that I inherited from my mother 22 years ago.

Thank you.

Albany Slip Stoneware Bowl or “Milk Pan”
Question:
I have a very shiny (with almost an iridescent quality to it) dark brown, stoneware bowl that is 7" in diameter. On the bottom it is marked RWSCo. It is in good shape as most of the"imperfections" seems to be pocs and marks from the glaze vs. any chips. What I find interesting is that there is a perfect little "hole" on the inside bottom of the bowl, that looks like a machine mark. I have looked for a bowl with this color everywhere in order to obtain information and have found nothing. Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Kathy
