Artware

Rose and Steve Splittgerber are the Curators of the Schleich Red Wing Pottery Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska. They have been intimately involved with the museum since the initial design. In addition to Red Wing pottery, the Splittgerber’s also collect Van Briggle pottery. Steve and Rose are active in many pottery organizations such as the Nebraska Redwingers, Iowa Art Pottery Association and the Van Briggle Collectors Society. Even with their extensive knowledge of Red Wing pottery and other pottery, they love to do research to expand their knowledge base.

Dinnerware

Larry Roschen has collected Red Wing dinnerware for over 35 years. He and his wife Kathy have collected nearly complete sets of four dinnerware patterns, every known standard production dinner plate, and almost every teapot, pitcher and salt & pepper set made by Red Wing. Larry also has a strong interest in rare, lunch hour, and test or sample dinnerware items. He has presented numerous dinnerware seminars at RWCS MidWinter and Convention events, and is contributes regularly to the RWCS Newsletter. In recent years Larry has taken an interest in gathering vintage documentation on Red Wing dinnerware lines, primarily old Red Wing price lists, brochures and company memos. These documents help form a more complete picture of production dates and time lines than can be found in existing Red Wing reference books.

Stoneware

Al Kohlman has been collecting Red Wing Stoneware since 1985 and joined the Red Wing Collectors Society in 1987. His primary interests are stoneware and Red Wing animals, but he has dabbled in other areas of Red wing as well. Al is also a collector of decorated Wisconsin Stoneware. Al’s Red Wing collection started with zinc glaze crocks, from 1 gallon to 60 with lids. From there he moved to zinc glazed butter churns & ice waters (never having an interest in salt glaze). He has now thinned his hobby and collects only decorated salt glaze (tastes must change with age).
