Midwinter (Staffordshire)

Late 50's I think. Not one of the most desirable patterns, but I got given rather a lot of it

I have collected a fair number of Midwinter designs over the years but this one has always stumped me.
It's a sauce boat (obviously) with a nice matching tricorn plate in bright red design with the usual Midwinter
stamp to the base, but I have never found anything like it in any of the Midwinter books and the pattern name
and designer remain a mystery.
Anyone else seen a piece in the same pattern??
This is one for Pip!!

Midwintwinter pot or lidded jar - blue decoration with striped band to middle - base marked midwinter Style Craft Classic Shape 3-64 - painted decorators marks 'V MDW' long shot but is that initials for Eve Midwinter or not - or is this just a home painted piece?

This is a revised po- its clearly been over painted more recently plus Eve Midwinter didnt mark her work

If your pot has been recently painted then it won't have been fired, as the pottery won't like being refired and would be likely to fail. If you gently scrape the paint with a coin it will come away, if it doesn't it is possible a student or learner bought the blank in 1964 and decorated and fired it when it was new/ish.
H.Woods and Royal Winton are just 2 factories that sold blanks to 'home workers' from 1900 onwards.

If I remember right, I think Johnson Brothers and J&G Meakin also supplied blanks. I think they were mainly from discontinued lines as I've seen a few 1970's coffee pots with impressed J. Bros or Meakin marks, but in 1980's decoration and different backstamps. Trouble is, I can't remember what the other names were now.

An interesting plate that from the details on the back seems to have been a trial piece.

So, this is a Midwinter Fashion Shape plate, with a really nice design applied as a transfer over the glaze. It's not a produced Midwinter design, as far as I know. Anyone recognise the pattern from elsewhere?

It does look like a design that I've seen but I can't place it at the moment. In fact it looks a little more like a pre-War design that one contemporary with the plate.

It would be good to see a picture of the reverse.
