Midwinter Stonehenge - Dinnerware

W. R. Midwinter Ltd was under the leadership of Roy Midwinter during the 1950s and early 60s. In 1968 the firm merged with J & G Meakin Ltd. Then in 1970 Josiah Wedgwood & Sons Ltd acquired both companies but kept the individual company names. The Stonehenge line was designed by Roy Midwinter with patterns designed by Eve Midwinter and Jessie Tait. The Midwinter Stonehenge dinnerware has an earthy, rustic look to it. I currently have pieces from nineteen of the Stonehenge patterns. Many of the patterns have the same background as the Creation pattern so Creation pieces are often used to augment other patterns or mellow out the business of a table setting.

Creation

The Stonehenge Midwinter (plain) pattern has an off-white, speckled background, brown trim. This pattern could easily be mixed and matches with Wild Oats, Surrey Wheat or Nasturtium. It was produced from 1972 to 1986.

Day

Wedgewood's Stonehenge Midwinter Day pattern has the same speckled background as the other Midwinter patterns. It features an orange and yellow sun with stripes of brown, yellow and orange. The pattern was produced from 1977 to 1979.
