Rusty- The pig Candleholder is a part of the "Ceramistone" shape that consists of 6 patterns. It was an attempt to get things going again at Red Wing. It was fired at 2200 degrees instead of the 1700 degrees. There is also another candleholder in the shape of a little choir girl. I have 5 of the choir girlls and one pig and I have a picture I call "My choir girls and their pet pig". They come in about 5 colors.
That shape has a couple of other strange looking pieces. There is a handled serving dish that looks more like a feed scoop. They also made a lobster dish that looks like a lobster.
Red Wing also made a couple of patterns that was sold by Sears. They were Hearthstone Orange and Hearthstone Beige.
