This is the largest plate from the Country Garden pattern of dinnerware. The plate is glazed all over in white and the top of the plate is also decorated in the handpainted Country Garden floral design over a lightly textured surface.

The Country Garden pattern of dinnerware displays the most colorful palette of any pattern in the Anniversary line. An elegant spray of flowers covers the entire surface of the flatware. Serving pieces came in a grey glaze with just the slightest tint of pale blue. Truly an artistic expression, the Country Garden pattern was designed by famous industrial designer, Belle Kogan, on the Anniversary shapes.

Red Wing Potteries introduced their Anniversary line of dinnerware in 1953 to celebrate their 75th year of being in business. Designed by Charles Murphy, this line was tremendously popular then and remains as popular today. The line introduced a bold. basket-weave texture on the serving pieces that was mimicked more subtly on the flatware. Bold, interesting, hand-painted designs were highlighted by complementary swaths of solid color.

According to Red Wing Potteries, Anniversary line dinnerware provided "Elegance for Every Day in the year - beautifully hand-painted."

All Anniversary 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.
