A Winkling we will go, a Winkling we will go......

Hi -Ho, the merry-o
A winkling we will go....


I am on the verge of a new obsession....    Kathy Winkle Designs.

Found on Broadhurst Ironstone ware - made in England....
with and without the Kathy Winkle signature...  early to mid '60s.

Still relatively easy to find in and around Op-Shops, but now starting to creep into Antique shops.
I use my crockery daily, so am not adverse to finding the not quite perfect item, or one that's heavily stained.

These are mostly sandwich plates, the two in the middle are a sandwich plate on a salad plate...  Pattern names - running clockwise from bottom left;

Corfu  -  Carnival  -  Renaissance -   Jamboree  -  October -  Zodiac - all framing : Rushtone

These are transfer ware - the black outlines, but hand painted splashes of colour...

I didn't realise I was picking up so many of these... but as you know....

One is a display - Two is a pair- Three is a collection....

If you see these out there on the peninsula - point me in the right direction please....
