Antique Trader had an interesting article on Red Wing pottery this week. In addition to historical information on Red Wing art pottery and RumRill ceramics, highlights included information on the 30th anniversary of the Red Wing Collector’s Society. The club kicks off activities with its "MidWinter GetTogether" February 9-11 in Des Moines, Iowa. The Society’s annual convention will be held July 11-15 in Red Wing. Each year since 1977, the Red Wing Collectors Society has issued a commemorative based on a classic piece of Red Wing pottery to mark the annual convention. The form of the commemorative is a closely guarded secret until it’s introduction at the convention. The article notes that in 2002 a record price of almost $12,000 was realized for a complete commemorative set.
