Vintage Red Wing Union Stoneware Co. Teal Glazed Vase With Flower Design

This piece is from the movie set Maestro starring Bradley Cooper.
Red Wing Stoneware Company,
forerunner of today’s famous Red Wing Stoneware and Pottery was established.
The company supplied farmers with stoneware crocks and jugs for food and beverage storage. As our young country grew and the Industrial Revolution took people off the farms and brought them together in towns and cities, health concerns prompted the development of sewer systems. The Red Wing Sewer Pipe Company met the great need for ceramic sewer pipes. Two other companies were formed just before the turn of the century, Northstar Stoneware and Minnesota Stoneware. By 1906 one company had gone out of business and the other three companies combined as the

Red Wing Union Stoneware Company.
With changing times, and especially the invention of the refrigerator, the old stoneware crocks and jugs were no longer needed. In 1913 the first refrigerators were invented for home use, although the cost was out of the reach of most people (one 1922 refrigerator cost $714, compared to $450 for a Model-T Ford).
At this point, Red Wing Union Stoneware Company began producing flower pots and vases, then luncheon and dinnerware, and a wide variety of art pottery. In 1936 the name was changed to
Red Wing Potteries. https://www.redwingstoneware.com/our-history/our-history/
