Question:
My wife and I have been collecting various pieces of Redwing Artware and have settled on collecting pieces with the light green base and bronze/brown wash. Was this color variation used widely by Redwing or was it confined to a certain group or category? The numbers on some of the pieces are 778-762 & 68

Answer: The numbers you give me point to 1938 or so. Sounds like a Rumrill glaze, Goldenrod. This is a timeframe when Redwing was switching from rumrill’s glazes to new ones of their own, but with the two tone color, think Goldenrod is it. They also fit in with Belle Kogan’s "100" line, which was right after Rumrill’s departure. If you can send me a pic that wuld be great. thanks, steve n rose
