This Midwinter Homeweave variant plate is a real oddity. Why? It’s the wrong shape, wrong colour and probably wrong date. Homeweave was a 1953 pattern by Midwinter’s star designer Jessie Tait. It came on the Stylecraft shaped wares that were so original in the early 50s - square-ish, angular pieces - and it was produced in red or green versions. You can see a Homeweave Red milk jug and tureen in the upper photos. But this little plate is on the round, traditional Classic shape that was rolled out from 1960 onwards - and it’s pink and yellow and green! Things I love about it: striking colours, messy execution (look at the smears in the lines and the dabs of colour on the white areas!), weird mixture of modern pattern and traditional shape, not really working too well. The backstamp has a serial number “5 - 62” - does this mean it was a test piece of some sort? Is that a date? And how did it escape the factory, come to be in my kitchen? I hope you love my odd little plate too. Any information on it super-welcome.

Via Flickr: A great design from Jessie Tait, mid 1950's. This was one of the first uses of the Murray Curvex printing system which allowed transfers to be placed accurately on curved surfaces. The transfer was passed onto onto a 'bomb', of rubber, gelatine or similar flexible substance shaped to match the article being printed. This then placed the transfer without any wrinkles or creases. In this case, the yellow is an enamel added by hand on top of the transfer.
