Jon Nix — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 18:02:56 +0000

A very modern-looking set of cups, saucers,plates, jug, bowl, and sugar bowl made by Branksome Pottery - deceptively modern, as they were made in the 1950s! This set of items from the "Graceline" design range is presented in the typical two-tone pastel colourway, in this case a pale green and grey-green colourway, and is comprised of four cups and saucers, four small side plates, milk or cream jug, an open bowl, and a lidded sugar bowl. It's a classic design which has truly stood the test of time and would grace any table.

The set is in excellent condition with no discernible chips or cracks. Collection preferred for this item or delivery by courier arranged by buyer (please contact), in order to ensure safe transit. Please also get in touch if you are interested in individual pieces from this set.

Rare Midwinter “Sorrento” pattern dinner plates designed by Nigel Wilde 1962

One of the least well known patterns - and certainly one of the hardest to find - in the Midwinter "Fine" tableware range. This is the "Sorrento" pattern by Nigel Wilde which dates the plates to a short-lived period after 1962. The plates are in a Marquis of Queensberry shape, a broad-rimmed and low profile dinner plate with slightly scooped interior. Elegant and unfussy, they measure approximately 27cm (10½ in.) in diameter with a base diameter of 12.5cm (5 in.).

These are listed individually, but offers for part or all of the set of 6 are also invited. The plates are in generally good condition. Most have very little sign of wear and tear, though it should be noted that a couple of the plates do have some slight nibbles, glaze imperfections, or minor loss to edges, but nothing that detracts from normal use or is apparent without close inspection. In the case of single or partial purchases, then the best of the plates will be fulfilled on a first-come-first-served basis.

An unusual pair of bowls and plates in a lotus flower and lily pad design made by Branksome China and probably dating from the 1950s. In good condition with no chips or cracks but with possible minor imperfections from the manufacturing process. The white bowls in the lotus flower shape look very crisp and stylish and sit nicely on the green plates which have a complementary leaf shape and texture. Both the plates and the bowls are stamped underneath with the maker's mark: "Branksome China, England". The flower bowls have a slightly glossier finish than the plates which have a more matte look to them.

The bowls measure approximately 13cm in diameter and have a depth of 4cm.

The plates measure approximately 16.5cm in diameter and have a depth of 1.5cm.

A set of six very kitsch and retro-looking plates depicting various regional French cheeses, with scalloped design edges with gold emblems and rims. The plates, which include individual designs for Brie, Camembert, Roquefort, Chevre, Emmenthal and Reblochon, are marked underneath "P.A.R.I.S 2 Porcelaine Francaise".

Each plate measures approximately 18.5 cm (7¼ in) in diameter. The plates are in very good condition overall, with some minor wear and tear to the transfer designs and plate edges, but no chips or cracks.
