All the metal parts of such items were "bought in" by the various potteries and it could be that this is a later "marriage". Is there any mark of the metal stand?

Evening SP, no marks to the Metal Stand as such, just a few crumbs to the Chintz plate from this Lemon loaf cake which I'll investigate as soon as I've made a nice coffee to go with it

The cake is a perfect match to the plate when compared to the stand.

Is there such a thing as Creation with a blue rim?
Can’t find it anywhere online.
I’m guessing my plates are quite late as they’re proclaimed ‘microwave and dishwasher safe’.
I will upload pics as and when I work out how to do that.

Update: I have uploaded pics!

I used to deal in Midwinter in a big way in the 1990s and I don't recall seeing this with a blue line.

I would suspect, as you suggest, that it is from the late 1970s or even into the 1980s.

Yes I think you’re probably right. The plates are lovely but it seems impossible to find any more. Thank you.

I knew Alan Peat and Steven Jenkins, who wrote the books about Midwinter back in the 1990s and if nothing was found at that time then it's almost certainly lost forever.

There are a few stonehenge patterns in the Jenkins book (1st ED), where there
was no information available (at the time).

Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has come across this design before, a very pretty kingfisher in pastel colours on a blue background. It is marked with Midwinter Porcelon Burslem, England. I have scoured the internet and can find nothing on this particular pattern ?
Any info gratefully received, thanks

You are confusing two different potteries. This mark was used by W,R Midwinter Albion and Hadderidge Potteries, Burslem. Used circa 1932-41. So in actual fact this is just a pattern mark used by the famed Midwinter Pottery. Which was a very large pottery in the 1930's producing a vast number if designs. Lovely piece though.
