By searching Wheeling pottery La Belle Riviere, I found a site that called this piece a Pitcher. If that's correct, water or hot water may be...
Are there any stains on the inside that might give you a clue to its use? janetpjohn seems to maybe have it right with hot water for the table,...
@antidiem LOL, I had a Commodore "Luggable". It was a portable computer, really heavy but I thought it was awesome. Can't remember what I did...
The last time I heard the going price of an original Apple, it was around $300K or thereabouts. The price has obviously gone up!
Now that is just an awesome butter dish!! Are we keeping or selling? (edit: never mind, I found it!)
It kinda sorta reminds me of McKee's Innovation line. Whenever I see the rows of cut buttons, that's what comes to mind. It's really a nice bowl...
