Well, it's not a fake, because it is signed with the unique trademark of the current Red Wing Stoneware Company. The original Red Wing Stoneware Company did not incorporate a wing in the center of a stamped logo. Their signatures on this type of ware were most often molded into the bottom of the piece in raised or indented letters. The wing was not used on ware by the Red Wing factories until about 3 years after the Red Wing Stoneware Co. merged with the Minnesota Stoneware Co. (and no longer existed under the old name).
