This is a gravy boat with attached underplate from the Plum Blossom pattern of dinnerware. It is glazed white on the inside and bronze on the outside. Bronze glazed serving pieces in the Plum Blossom pattern are uncommon, highly sought and match both the yellow and pink patterns.

This gravy boat is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. It does have a small amount of very light crazing (typical with dinnerware of this age,) and it does have a very small scratch on the underside of the attached dish, but it cannot be seen while the gravy boat is on display and it is difficult to detect.

With a distinctive oriental flair, designer Belle Kogan created for Red Wing Potteries a dinnerware pattern with both a pleasing illustration and an interesting shape. Dynasty is the only hexagonal (6-sided) shape ever offered by the Potteries.

The Potteries first offered the Dynasty Plum Blossom pattern in 1949. They offered two colors, in either yellow or pink plum blossoms. Serving pieces are either yellow, green or bronze. While originally marketed as a yellow color, yellow Plum Blossom is actually more of a chartreuse shade which varies between a greenish yellow and a yellowish green.

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.
