A homespun delicacy from the 1960s

I promised to show some more Midwinter pottery. And to continue the theme of good looking printed surface design on pottery, here we have a nicely decorated Midwinter platter.

Produced in the 1960s, this pattern is known as Homespun. It was applied to a range of dinnerware in the attractive Fashion shape. The flatware carried this check design, the holloware (cups, jugs, sugar bowls, etc) that accompanied the set came in an all-over ochre colour.

I've included a close-up photo as I think it's worth taking a closer look at how delicately the line work in the design was drawn.
