Casual Plain Salad or Popcorn Serving Bowl
This is the largest bowl offered in the Casual line. Designed to serve a generous portion of salad, the bowl is covered in a brown speckle glaze but is otherwise undecorated. The condition of this bowl is excellent with no chips or cracks. There is some very minor scratching in the bottom of the bowl. A blob of glaze in the bottom of the bowl is from manufacturing and merely adds character. Although without an "official" name, Red Wing Potteries did produce undecorated dinnerware in the Casual shape. Dubbed "Casual Plain" pattern dinnerware here for convenience only, this set of dinnerware has the light speckled backgrounds found on other Casual patterns. Casual Plain pattern dinnerware displays and serves very well with all of the other Casual patterns. Red Wing Potteries introduced their Casual line of dinnerware in 1955. Designed by Charles Murphy, Casual's fun yet practical shapes makes the line as popular today as it was then. New to Casual line, Red Wing introduced stands made to fit several of the serving pieces. All Casual designs are hand-painted, oven-proof, colorfast and detergent safe. 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.
