Description: Indian Chief, Cattails & Dragonfly, Embossed, Cobalt Blue, 9 In. The Sleepy Eye Milling Co., Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, used his portrait in advertising from 1883 to 1921. The popular pottery was made by Weir Pottery Company from c.1800-1905. Weir merged with six other potteries and became Western Stoneware in 1906.

The Sleepy Eye image was also used by companies unrelated to the flour mill. Sleepy Eye was one of four American Indians to meet President James Monroe in 1824 and was later involved in treaty that gave Sioux lands to the U.S. government. Great history and beautiful vase. Please review pictures, it dose have 2 small cracks inside. Along with some wear on the bottom. Would look great anywhere.
