Casual Line Dinnerware StandsClick on any of the following images to view more information.For the first time, Red Wing introduced metal stands for many of the serving pieces in the Casual line of dinnerware. Stands came in two distinct styles, designed to match two disparate home decors: stands in bright copper bands to match contemporary home décor and stands constructed of black metal wire to match a more western or rustic motif. All stands were made to hold votive candles to keep the servers warm. The candle holders matched the stands, either copper or black. Red Wing Potteries introduced their Casual line of dinnerware in 1955. Designed by Charles Murphy, Casual's fun yet practical shapes makes the line as popular today as it was then. New to Casual line, Red Wing introduced stands made to fit several of the serving pieces. All Casual designs are hand-painted, oven-proof, colorfast and detergent safe. Red Wing Potteries gradually converted from producing stoneware to dinnerware and art pottery. Starting in the 1930's and through their closure in 1967, Red Wing Potteries produced over a hundred different dinnerware patterns. Forms ranged from traditional shapes to the whimsical. Patterns included every design from floral motifs to the abstract. They produced heavy ceramic, fine china and economy dinnerware sets. Some patterns consisted of mostly flatware with few serving pieces. Some patterns consisted of only serving pieces. Other patterns had both. On the bottom of most Red Wing dinnerware pieces you will find three little dots. These dots are left in the glaze by the little tripod that the Potteries used to support the piece when they fired it in the kiln. The three dots are not damage, they are a remnant of the manufacturing process and authenticate the piece as being actual Red Wing.
