Jessie Tait / Midwinter Pottery

[louisiana]

Sad to hear that Jessie Tait of Midwinter Pottery fame died a couple of weeks ago.

There's an obit by Charlotte Higgins in the Grauniad

and some of her designs here:

Any other Midwinter collectors out there?

I became one by accident, as my mum bought lots of Nature Study by Terence Conran in '55, and then I came across some unwanted Zambesi by Jessie Tait, which was a '56 design.
