REDWING

Posted Apr-12-08 02:34:03 PDTREDWING LOTUS SERIES

THE REDWING CO. WAS STARTED IN 1878, AFTER SOME BOOK RESEARCH DONE. THE NAME IS TAKEN FROM REDWING MINNESOTA. THE NAME WAS CHANGED TO REDWING UNION STONEWARE CO AFTER SEVERAL POTTERIES MERGED . THEIR EARLY 1930 CATALOGS OFFERED ART POTTERY VASES IN COLORED GLASS AFTER THEIR ADDITIONS OF DINNERWARE LINES IN 1935 THE STONEWARE WAS DROPPED. & THEY WERE KNOWN AS RED WING POTTERIES THEY CLOSED IN 1967. THE LOTUS SERIES & MAGNOLIA SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THEIR MORE POPULAR DESIGN SERIES. THESE ARE JUST SOME OUT OF THE DESIGNS WITH HAINDPAINTED QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP OUT OF THE MANY DESIGNS OFFERED. THESE PIECES BECOME RARE WITH TIME & ARE WELL WORTH COLLECTING FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE DESIGNS ALONE.

THANKS FOR BROWSING
