Question:
when was this made and where? what are the glazes, and how were they applied? My daughter gave this to me for xmas, and i’m a potter. Gregg

Answer: The item in the photo is a pitcher from the Bakeware pattern. Most collectors know this pattern as "Oomph", a name that came to be associated with the pattern because a Red Wing brochure featured the slogan "Red Wing puts the OOMPH into earthenware". Bakeware was made during the World War II years, from 1943 to the mid-1940s by Red Wing Potteries in Red Wing, Minnesota. This pitcher should have a brown cover with a flat round knob in the center. Red Wing applied most solid colored glazes to their dinnerware by spraying, although dipping the greenware into the glaze appears to have been used for this pitcher. Sorry, I do not know the technical aspects of the glazing process.
