Provincial Ware 23

Question:
Hello – I have 2 round shallow dishes which are stamped on the bottom Red Wing Provencial Ware 23 – They don’t look like they have been used at all – excellent shape. They look like round au gratin dishers with simple and attractive fan-like handles. Dimensions: approx top diameter 6 1/2" / approx bottom diameter 4/1/2" They have the unglazed bisque exterior and glazed tan interior, and from descriptions sound like they are WWII era. Could you tell me how much they might be worth? Thanks for your help on this! If interested, I can provide photos, but I am concerned the file size might be a problem for this form. Joan
