I-95
265 Mason Ave red banding applied to the rims and other flat surfaces. There were attempts to develop a
Dunn Ave Int’l Speedway Blvd N Beach St Peninsula Fashion version, but the design made no sense on rimless wares.

saying, that the tea things you used at breakfast were not the ones you brought out in the
256 S Atlantic Ave afternoon. Midwinter was selling principally to the British and Commonwealth markets,

New York Ave 44 I-95 1 44 stylized patterns. A few patterns, though, are representative of the genteel Old English
600 249 44 Canal 2 Edgewater look that Roy Midwinter wanted to steer the firm away from. These pieces reflect the
15 Riverside Dr
10th St A1A industry practice of applying traditional motifs to Modern forms. Cottage Garden, for
W Park Ave
example, depicts a thatched cottage surrounded by flowerbeds and crowned by a fussy
Indian River Blvd border. This pattern was used (mercifully, not very often) on Stylecraft wares. Likewise,
442 Tapestry Chintz, which was applied to Fashion wares. The designer is unknown;
NSB ANTIQUE MALL perhaps the bunches of pink and yellow roses were drawn from the firm’s historic chintz
repertoire. Another surprise Fashion pattern is Fishes which, with its realistic depictions
of marine life, suggests the influence of a Victorian fish service. It is similar in name
Quality Vintage & Mid-Century Furniture only to Fish, another Fashion pattern by Tait, which is painted allover with abstract fish.

From New Smyrna’s Oldest Antique Shop sell for less than $50. Zambesi pieces, however, are more expensive, with prices running
into the low hundreds.
