Did you Know?

Designed by legendary ceramic pioneer Roy Midwinter, the "Fashion Shape" line debuted in the 1950s to radically redefine traditional rigid British pottery into fluid, organic modern tableware.

The rare "Whispering" pattern beautifully captures the restrained, minimalist botanical illustrative aesthetic that dominated high-end European design houses throughout the early 1960s.
Origin & Era

Made in England, 1961, making this breakfast set 65+ years.
Dimensions

Approximate Dimensions: Height 15.5 cm (including handle), Platter Width 15.5 cm, Egg Cup Height 4.5 cm.
Vintage Condition

Excellent vintage condition showcasing superb structural form and design clarity.

Visible Flaws: Minor age-related wear. Detailed macro inspection reveals an authentic network of uniform, tight glaze crazing spidering naturally across the base platter underside, typical for 1960s English semi-porcelain bodies.

The unglazed bottom rim shows standard, minor shelf dust lines, and the structural black plastic washer beneath the central metal chrome handle exhibits faint surface dryness and natural age-related discoloration.
