North Star Co. antique stoneware shoulder bowl with impressed star. c: 1892-1897. This item is being sold as a collectible item, not for food use since I did not manufacture it and I don't know if it has anything harmful in it. North Star was located in Red Wing, Minnesota and was affiliated with Red Wing Pottery Co.; I think it preceded it. The bowl is 4 inches tall x a bit over 8 wide. It displays fine; has a couple of small surface chips off the blue band ledge that circles the upper area and a piece of clay waste on the body, see pics 5-6. The picture is a close up and the chipped spot is not very noticeable in reality. Nice looking old bowl and a rare find! 4/14
