​​These two side bowls are from the 1950s/early 1960s are incredibly retro.  Made by Midwinter Stylecraft in an unusual square shape at the time which was rimless.  It was dubbed "Fashion Shape" or "Fashion Tableware".  They are both in the "Cassandra" pattern which was designed by Jessie Tait.  

Excerpt from Pottery Histories - Histories of UK potters and pottery manufacturers © Mike Perry 2011:
​"The Fashion shape, released in 1954, took the Midwinter look to another level. The shape fully embodied the organic modernism of the American designers. The flatware was now rimless - regarded as a bold step at the time – and the pots and bowls had free-flowing, fluid lines ... backstamps often refer to ‘Stylecraft Fashion tableware’ or ‘Stylecraft Fashion shape’, as a way of introducing what was a very bold shape to a conservative public."​

Approximately 6 inches square - Midwinter Stylecraft - "Fashion Shape" / "Fashion Tableware" Cassandra pattern by Jessie Tait.

They are in good condition.  No cracks or chips.  There are signs of wear to the graphic (as they are, after all, 50-60 years old!).  The pattern is a mix of light robin's egg blue and black.  The blue on one bowl is a little faded - probably from dishwasher use.  They still look awesome but compared to pictures on the internet of ones in mint condition - the fading is noticeable on the one bowl.

Disclaimer:  Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
