One frustrating point about Atomic Swirl is the lack of a designers name. It is often assumed to be Margaret Casson.
Designs from the post-war period had suffered from a shortage of raw materials: the use of gilt was limited, for example. So the optimism that followed after restrictions were lifted in the early 1950s must have proved immensely uplifting to a recovering nation. Gone were the rather stark, utilitarian designs to be replaced by stunning new shapes with bold, striking patterns.
This dish has a depth of 2 cm and is 20.5 cm in diameter. It weighs 253 grams.
Certainly these influences seemed to have spread to many other manufacturers like Midwinter Pottery of which we hold some stock.
This item originates from one of a number of family houses in Bath. It has been generously donated by the owners to sell and raise funds for Genesis Trust.
As we are selling numerous donations from people in Bath, we will be happy to offer generous discounts for those that wish to multi buy.
We will ship directly or make collections available.
Thank you all for viewing this listing. If you do decide to purchase you will be supporting a tiny charity in Bath that consistently punches above its weight helping the disadvantaged and homeless.
