This site is committed to antique Red Wing Artware (pottery), Dinnerware, Stoneware (crocks/crockery) and, frankly, anything else associated with Red Wing.
If it's not Red Wing we don't have it!

In this site you'll find a little History of the Red Wing era, Articles of interest to the new and experienced collector and a Gallery / Quick Viewer showing images of all types of Red Wing from the private collection of Lisabeth and Byron Bush and friends. Check out our free Advertisements if you want to buy/sell/trade Red Wing Wares. You'll find a complete listing of Red Wing books in our Reference section. By far, the two most popular pages in the site are "Ask Wally & Paul About Red Wing" and "Wing Talk"; you shouldn't miss these very informative pages! If you're interested in submitting a special piece from your own collection in Wing Tips see my Contact Information.

Is this your first visit to Wing Tips? If you're like everyone else that's new to the site, you've probably got some questions about Red Wing Wares.  If you want quick answers the first place to visit is probably our Frequently Asked Questions page. Alternatively we've got an "Introduction To Wing Tips"  to help our new-comers navigate through, and make some sense of all the Red Wing resources available on the site.  But Before You Leave...  Please sign our Guest Book!

Latest Wing Tips Biggies  (04-Oct-2006) Picture(s) of the Week (or so;) Thanks to Sue H. for sending these images of her Red Wing plate and Sewer Pipe cup.  Here's a note from Sue about the items and her memories of Red Wing.... Thank you for your interest in these pieces. As you requested, here are some better photo's. My father, Rollie Seager worked at the Pottery in the late 50's early 60's somewhere in the offices, quality or inventory I believe. I remember as a girl of 6 going down early Saturday mornings to walk through the plant. It had a dusty, clay smell with wonderful beams of light passing through the dust (in my young mind). It was also fun to go to the dump behind the building and toss the plates further into the weeds. ( the $ I must have tossed!) Anyway, my father received the Hippie piece and I noted some other similar drawings on plates on your web site. Can you tell me the value of the Hippie piece. The sewer pipe cup I believe was a promotion piece, but the mold seems similar to a RW cup, but sewer pipe clay. My father worked there after the Pottery closed. Any information would be welcome. Thank you for your interest. Sue H There's a discussion of these plates in the Q/A page; look for "Flower Child"   Thanks to Judith Hansen of Dearborn Heights, MI for sending these images of Red Wing plates.  Here's a note from Judith about the plates.... Byron,  The plates were made in honor of my mother (my dad asked the painters at the pottery to paint the specific pictures, shortly after my parents were married in 1946).  My dad's parents (my grandparents) worked at the pottery.  My grandparents married in 1909!!!!  Thanks! Judy There's a discussion of these plates in the Q/A page; look for "under-the-table RW pottery"   Thanks go to Steven Lythjohan, of Burlington, WI for sending this image.  Here's what Steve has to say about this great Jug... Byron attached is a picture for the Wing Tips home page. It is a Red Wing 20 gal Advertising Jug!!! Advertising is under glaze. All I can say is wow!!!! I will forward more information as I get it. If anyone has ever seen this jug or know anything about the advertiser please let me know. Regards Steve L.   11-Sep-2006 Steve just sent me an update regarding the history of this jug... ...It sat in a Cigar & Candy Store on the Corners of Bush St and Main St in Red Wing untill the early 1960's. It left Red Wing sometime after the pottery closed in 1967 and made its way to a Western Wisconsin City. It has remained in one family since the 1960's. Thats about all I have on it to this point. Please if anyone has any information about the jug or the Morley Store in Red Wing let me know by email or posts on the Ask Wally Paul and Steve discussion group. It would be great to be able to put some history behind this piece.  Steve L. Leave Steve a note in the Q/A page if you have feedback for him.   Would you like to see your picture in the spotlight?
