This is a tea cup and saucer from the Dynasty Plum Blossom pattern of dinnerware. The set includes one tea cup and one saucer. The saucer is glazed white on the top and bottom while the tea cup is glazed white on the outside and green on the inside. Both the cup and the saucer are decorated with the handpainted Plum Blossom design in pink flowers.

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.
