Between 1906, when the Minnesota and the Red Wing Stoneware Companies merged to form the Red Wing Union Stoneware Company and 1909, when the red wing decoration was first used, the ware was decorated with tapered "birch leaves" and the "ski" oval, which you describe. Get the whole story in Red Wing Potters & Their Wares.
