Artware – Archive Questions

Artware questions are answered by a panel of Red Wing Art Pottery Collectors depending on the piece, glaze, and line the individual question comes from.

Dinnerware – Archive Questions

Larry Roschen has collected Red Wing dinnerware for over 30 years. He and his wife Kathy have collected nearly complete sets of four dinnerware patterns, every known standard production dinner plate, and almost every teapot, pitcher and salt & pepper set made by Red Wing. Larry also has a strong interest in rare, lunch hour, and test or sample dinnerware items. He has presented numerous dinnerware seminars at RWCS MidWinter and Convention events, and is contributes regularly to the RWCS Newsletter. Larry and his friend Terry Moe have gathered vintage documentation on Red Wing dinnerware lines, primarily old Red Wing price lists, brochures and company memos. These documents help form a more complete picture of production dates and time lines than can be found in existing Red Wing reference books.

Stoneware – Archive Questions

Clifford Olson and his wife, Alison, have collected Red Wing since 1986, when Alison’s aunt gifted them some crocks. Trips to antique shops to furnish their apartment resulted in more acquisitions, so it didn’t take long to build their collection. The couple slowed down their buying around 1998 due to young children, work and starting a business. But they dove back into collecting head first in 2014, always visiting antique shops and malls and attending local auctions.

Cliff collects Red Wing salt glaze and zinc glaze stoneware, along with advertising stoneware from southwestern Wisconsin.
