Description: A town in Minnesota, and the milling company located there, took their name from a Sioux Indian Chief, Old Sleepy Eye. The mill opened in 1899, and partnered with the Weir Co to make stoneware promotional items, pitchers and bowls, that were given away with the purchase of a 50 Lb sack of flour. In 1906, they switched to pottery items manufactured by the Western Stoneware Co, in Monmouth, IL. This sugar bowl is part of that second series, made from 1906-1937. It features, as all items did, a raised design of Old Sleepy Eye, on one side and trees and teepees the rest of the way around. Deep blue and white. Marked on the bottom WSCO, Monmouth, IL. Pitchers are much more common (still hard to find) than a sugar bowl.. Measures approx. 3 1/2" tall and 3" across the top. Two hairline cracks as can be seen in the pictures. Some discoloration on the inside bottom, and outside bottom. Priced accordingly. As always, use the pictures as your guide.
