Pink and Blue Banded Twelve Inch Mixing Bowl
Made of heavy stoneware clay in the 1920's or 1930's, this mixing bowl has molded vertical ribs and a substantial shoulder around the rim. Decorated with four horizontal blue bands and two of pink, this bowl is marked only with the number "12" on the bottom. This bowl is in very good condition with only some minor flaking of the glaze around the shoulder.
As soon as the Red Wing stoneware companies started making larger, utilitarian stoneware they made smaller stoneware pieces for use in the kitchen and on the table. The stoneware companies of Red Wing, Minnesota produced stoneware items shortly after their inception in 1877 until the mid-1940's. The shapes of these items ranged widely. However, one overriding attribute describes them all: they were designed to be used. In fulfilling the needs of a developing America, the stoneware companies were hugely successful and their wares were very popular. The popularity of their wares has only increased over time making collecting Red Wing a growing field and exciting hobby!
