Midwinter Pottery
The Midwinter Pottery ceased production in 1987. Founded in 1910 by William Robinson Midwinter in Stoke-on-Trent, it became one of England's largest potteries by the late 1930s.
Inspired by the Festival of Britain Exhibition in 1951, Roy Midwinter encouraged both internal and external design talents, including Terence Conran, Peter Scott, Hugh Casson, John Russell, and Jessie Tait, creating a huge legacy of fantastic mid-century ceramic design.
The Stylecraft collection influenced British design during the 1950s, combining beautiful decoration with modern shapes. New shapes followed in the 1960s with the launch of Spanish Garden, and again in the 1970s with the Stonehenge series.
Midwinter Pottery joined the Wedgwood group in 1970 and sadly closed in 1987.
