[QUOTE="bluumz, post: 4371026, member: 649"]Yep, painted/sponged all over, no transfer use. Decorated but utilitarian, not expensive when new and only nominal value now. (Though with lots of sentimental value for you, of course!) And I still think 1930s/40s. Sizes of items? (Just for curiosity's sake, really.) I'm now doubting redware, however... are there any areas of unglazed clay? Redware uses, as the name implies, a red clay and the unglazed area would show that. Those dots (little unglazed areas?) on the bottom look whitish... indicating NOT redware.
