Plain Pattern Salt and Pepper Shaker Set in Yellow Glaze
These are the cute little spherical salt and pepper shakers in the Plain pattern. The pepper shaker has a molded P in the handle while the salt shaker hosts a molded S. This set comes in a yellow glaze. This shaker set is in excellent condition. There are no chips or cracks. The salt shaker has slight dark discoloration. Red Wing Potteries started producing Plain pattern dinnerware in 1935. Plain came in five decorator colors: blue, yellow, orange, ivory and turquoise. All pieces are undecorated. Gypsy trail is the first dinnerware line produced by the Red Wing Potteries. It consists of four different patterns and related serving pieces. 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.
