Caprice Creamer
This beautiful creamer is from the Caprice pattern of dinnerware. It is glazed white and is decorated with the handpainted Caprice design of leaves and flowers. This creamer is stamped on the bottom with the Red Wing HANDPAINTED red ink stamp. This creamer is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. Red Wing produced Caprice pattern dinnerware on the Fancy Free shape. It consists of a bisymmetrical, abstract floral design in bright colors of pink, blue, green and yellow. In 1952, Red Wing Potteries presented their new dinnerware line. Called Fancy Free, the line combined fanciful shapes and eye-pleasing colors. This entire line was designed by the famous industrial designer, Belle Kogan, and demonstrates the height of dinnerware design of the 1950's. 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.
