These are common, and often show browning, grease-stains or chips around the base from use. Beware unmarked clones or imports (often from Portugal). Note the handpainted brown-orange 'feet', and the corresponding painter's blob next to the backstamp. Newport pottery made a practically identical model (809138) that is more collectable that the Midwinter one. It was possibly designed by Clarice Cliff during her time at Newport. TG Green also made a similar one. Value: £5-15 |  |

These Hors-d'œuvre dishes originally came in a set of 3 pastel colours (pink, blue and yellow) on a matt-black wire stand with handle. From a Terence Conran design of 1955, remodelled in pastel in 1960 Spelling: the 2-word "Salad Ware" name is used on Midwinter backstamps and promotional literature.

Miscellaneous hollow-ware Look at eBay, and you will see that people are buying plain Midwinter jugs and sugar bowls. My guess is that not all of these buyers are replacing gaps in a coffee set; some are buying them for the shape and colour alone. Dark green or dark brown hollow-ware doesn't sell.

Whispering grass
sugar bowl (1960) In this range, lilac was for the UK market. For some reason, whispering grass hollow-ware is selling for rather high prices. Maybe because the colour is so pleasant? Very faint MIDWINTER ENGLAND blue stamp. Pristine condition. Value: £20-30 |

Dark creamy-caramel
colour jug (1967) Two pinpricks to the glaze on the rim near the spout. Value: £2-4 |
