Midwinter - DIY?

Hello,

I bought a couple of Midwinter serving plates at a local garage sale. They are painted with seafood etc and signed Jackson.
I can't find any association between Jackson and Midwinter -are these likely to be plain plates someone has decorated themselves? Or could they be samples?

Thanks

It might well be the name of the retailer that sold them. There was a large Department store in Reading called Jacksons which had a number of branches across the South East

Has the look of a Terence Conran design of the 50s, but can't find another example.

I would say it’s an amateur painter using a midwinter blank…..and possibly they based there work on an already recognised design….The Glasgow girls used blanks for their work as did others….

I agree, and it's one of those that you see hanging on a wall in someone house and you you say "ohh your kids painted that really well" - and the reply is

"My husband did that"
