Cobalt on Clay: Red Wing Salt Glaze Stoneware Decorations

The authors lead us through the Red Wing clay industry beginning with the discovery of clay through the production of stoneware. The migration of potters is noted as decorations and product features are found on pieces produced in Ohio and Illinois. This book illustrates the wide variety of decorations that were applied to salt glaze stoneware produced in Red Wing, Minnesota. Hundreds of photographed examples of Red Wing pieces are used to help readers learn about how the different companies in Red Wing marked their ware in the late 1800s. In addition, this book will help readers learn how to identify products produced in Red Wing because it includes many detailed examples featuring Red Wing stoneware product characteristics along with characteristics of pieces produced outside of Red Wing.
