1998 Red Wing Collectors Society Commemorative Blue Iris Pitcher Miniature

Description: 1998 RED WING Stoneware Collector's Society Commemorative --Blue Iris -- Approximately 4" tall x 6" wide w/lid Includes original information card and box. Item was only displayed on my collectibles shelf. Information Card Reads: The 1998 Red Wing Collectors Society Commemorative is a miniature "Iris" pitcher in a blue glaze. The Iris pitcher was made in the 1930s and 40s and was one of the last stoneware pitchers made by the Red Wing potteries. This pitcher is unusual because it was made in both stoneware and dinnerware/art pottery versions. Both styles have "RED WING" impressed into the bottom and many pieces also include "Potteries" or "USA." Stoneware Iris pitchers are unglazed on the bottom and are much heavier than the dinnerware/art pottery version. Iris pitchers were available in two quart, one quart and one pint sizes. Colors produced include blue, maroon, cream and brown. The 1998 commemoratives were made by Western Stoneware of Monmouth, Illinois. The commemorative pitcher holds 12 fluid ounces. The bottom of the pitcher features "RWCS 1998" in raised letters and numerals around the perimeter, with the 1998 convention logo stamped with blue ink in the center. The commemorative was made in the stoneware style, thus they are relatively heavy with unglazed bottoms. I have many more Red Wing Commemoratives for sale. Please look at my other listings.
