A couple items I picked up today.
I have truly fallen hard for Midwinter Pottery this time. A quick stop at Goodwill on the way home launched this retro 1950's piece into my collection. It's from MIDWINTER MODERN & it's the QUITE CONTRARY designed by JESSIE TAIT. It's been brought to my attention that there is a Midwinter Pottery book: Midwinter Pottery: A Revolution in British Tableware. I totally want this book. Not at this price. But you know, I totally want this book. Keeping my eye out. You never know what will turn up at the thrifts. On another note: I don't hear much about other people collecting Midwinter. Possibly since it's British? It's beautiful stuff. My last piece was straight outta the '80s. This piece is straight outta the '50s.
I got a set of 4, mint condition bowling/bowlers drinking glasses. At 99cents a piece at Value Village, I loved adding them to my collection. I have a feeling that this aren't as old as I might like them too be.. they seem to pristine to be vintage. What do you think? I've done a few searches with no outcome. I haven't seen any similar graphics on newer items. I'd still like to think these are from the '50s or '60s.

I did find a beautiful turquoise Midwinter Stylecraft hors-d'oeuvres tray this summer for a whopping $1.50! I didn't know much about Midwinter, I just really liked the plate, but I did research it and they have some really neat pieces, very retro. Mine is more traditional looking, turquoise with white roses. Your plate is really neat looking too!
ReplyDeleteDe tout - they definitely do have some great pieces. I don't see much of it for sale (eBay, etsy), I am wondering if it has much resale value? I see a lot of it & would love to have it for sale in my shop. I would keep all of it, but I don't have enough room in my house. I guess I can always buy a few nice pieces, try to sell it & if it doesn't sell it's a good enough reason for me to keep it.
