$150.75 $167.50
pale blue tea set manufactured by W R Midwinter Ltd,
'Design of the Year' award in 1957.
Its designers, A.H.Woodfall and John Vale, were members of the British Industrial Plastics Product Design Unit,
Oldbury Birmingham. Melmex, the material from which the set is made,was British Industrial Plastics Chemicals Limited's tradename for Melamine.
This kind of tableware was popular during the 50s and 60s for its bright colours and 'unbreakable' quality.
It later lost favour due to the fact it stained easily and so is now mainly used for picnics
As a result, it has now become very difficult to obtain items in good condition.
Im pleased to offer a selection of items in superb condition.
