Charles Murphy returned in 1953 to Red Wing Potteries. Murphy introduced designs with the Fleck glazes in 1954 and carved Sgraffito in 1955. The Flecks line used the pastel glaze- Zephyr Pink, Yellow, Light Gray, Nile Blue, Colonial Buff, and Light Celadon -- that encompassed tiny specks of dark brown. Sgraffito pieces were layered with multiple glazes then, before firing, layers were carved away to reveal the glaze color below. Like Belle Kogan's designs, many of Murphy's piece numbers were prefaced with an "M".
No cracks, no chips.
