Royal Doulton “Rosslyn”
After 80+ years Royal Doulton Rosslyn is still a very popular design in Australia. It is probably because it was so popular in its period - (designed in 1933 but produced for years)

Midwinter Designs by Charles Cobelle
Midwinter Designs by Charles Cobelle
When I first found the Midwinter Pottery items in the first image below at an auction, I was reminded of the work of French artist Leger…….I was on the right track at least (French)
The design turns out to be by painter Charles Cobelle (born Carl Edelman (1902-1994). His early career was in France then continued in the U.S. from the 1920’s.
I found a record of the design in the Midwinter Pottery book by Steven Jenkins. The design is called Desert Scene, and is a transfer print from a painting by Cobelle – It is known as a pattern on a range of dinner ware in the “Fashion Shape” (c 1955-1960)

Denby Potter’s Wheel
Denby "POTTERS WHEEL" was designed by David Yorath, 1973.
The forms for this dinnerware were actually designed by Gill Pemberton in her Bokhara series, and given a new life with David's pattern & colours.
