Description
A pair of ceramic dishes from the W.R. Midwinter 'Landscape' collection, a renowned line of British transferware. These crescent-shaped dishes were originally part of a larger "Lazy Susan" or rotating service set. In the 'Landscape' pattern, which depicts idyllic rural English scenes with courting couples. Blue transferware, a method where designs are transferred from engraved copper plates to ceramic. Quarter-round or crescent-shaped serving dishes, often used for hors d'oeuvres. The Midwinter Pottery was established in 1910 by William Robinson Midwinter in Stoke-on-Trent. While the 'Landscape' pattern is a classic example of their traditional, pre-WWII style, the company later became a leader in modern British tableware design in the 1950s under Roy Midwinter. The company eventually merged with J. & G. Meakin in 1968 and was later absorbed by the Wedgwood Group before closing in 1987. 5"H x 14"W x 8"L Good condition.
