The Red Wing Stoneware companies produced limited amounts of art pottery in the nineteenth century. Over time, they increased their production. Art pottery production in volume probably started sometime shortly after the turn of the twentieth century, though it didn't become a significant portion of their business until the late 1920's. Over time, Red Wing Potteries produced an amazingly wide assortment of art pottery forms in many different colors. Prominent designers Belle Kogan and Charles Murphy contributed significantly to the art pottery lines. The bottoms of art pottery pieces are either glazed or unglazed. On the bottom of the glazed 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.
