RED WING OVEN WARE 7.c

Question:
I have been using a stoneware oven dish that I found while cleaning out my parents house. I have liked it so much that I wanted to buy more. The bottom is marked "RED WING OVEN WARE" 7.c. It wasn’t until I tried to find a store that I discovered it’s collectible. Now I’m curious to find out what I have. This glazed bowl is ridged on the outside and stands approx 4 1/4" high. It’s colored in blue and rusty brown. The diameter is 7". On the outside of the bowl each 8th of the bottom half is smooth instead of ridged all the way down. Its condition is most excellent and I use it a lot. I’d be happy to submit a picture, but would have to provide it by phone. Please advise. Thank you so very much! Linda
