In 2013 we saw a renewed interest in one of the lesser known but widely collected and prized American pottery companies.  Red Wing Pottery (1878-1967) made  Red Wing, Minnesota, a city better known for shoes, its home and began an art pottery line in 1929.  Under the direction of George Rumrill, Red Wing produced a series of Rumrill releases from 1932 until 1937.

This beautiful pair of classic Roman pitchers are footed and embossed with acanthus leaves, a favorite decoration used by Rum Rill and others in the 1930s and ’40s. The pair is finished in the Pompeian glaze an ivory-colored base that has been wiped with a brown over-glaze that helps to highlight the pattern. Both of the ewers are faintly bottom marked “Red Wing 448” and are in exceptional condition.
