<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 165869, member: 308&quot;]Hello SeaGoat - I&#039;ll try and help.&nbsp; RRP produced bowls and crocks for most of, if not all of, its entire history.&nbsp; This particular line did not have a given name.&nbsp; It was just identified by number. My guess is that the incised signature predated the stamp mark.&nbsp; However, I doubt that would have any effect on the value.&nbsp; These items were meant to be used so finding a pristine example can be difficult.&nbsp; And these were produced daily by the truckload so glaze defects are also common.&nbsp; Because of the massive quantity produced these are not real difficult to find.&nbsp; The damage you have would be described as manufacturing defects (the glazed over colored chip) and chips (the damage to the bottom of the bowl).&nbsp; The missing glaze on the top rim and the lip could be either flaking or manufacturer&#039;s defects.&nbsp; I&#039;d have to see them in person to make a better guess.&nbsp; I&#039;d estimate the date as 1940&#039;s but again it makes little difference to the value.</p><p><br /></p><p>Were the bowl mine I would also try and sell it through my booth rather than list it on ebay.&nbsp; I think it would stand out better there than in the pages of RRP mixing bowls on ebay.&nbsp; There are people that still collect these but more for their value as decorator items than for the fact that they are RRP.&nbsp; It works well with a country or blue and white decor and it&#039;s really not a bad looking design.&nbsp; Value depends on so many factors that it&#039;s difficult to give you a firm price.&nbsp; Here in Indiana and given the issues I&#039;d list it at $15 to move it quickly.&nbsp; It takes up a lot of booth space.&nbsp; A perfect example maybe $35.&nbsp; And don&#039;t feel bad.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think there&#039;s a pottery dealer out there that didn&#039;t mistake these for Roseville in their beginning days (including me)!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; Good luck!</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
