Finally! It's been possibly months since I've seen any Winkle stuff in the thrift shops hereabouts. That is, of course, not counting the Rushtone serving bowl that was at St. Vincent de Paul ("Vinnies") priced at... $21.00! So today was a nice surpirse and not where I expected it. I don't usually look at the shot glasses (I have a couple - how many do I need? But I was scanning nearby and caught these in the corner of my eye.
The stamps on the bottom are a bit mystifying. One says Made in England and the other two say Staffordshire England. The one with Made in England might be from a different batch because the transfer is much sharper than on the other two. I know they are Winkles because they match this plate from a gravy dish set. It's called "Autumn".
And I bought them because they fit my (loose) rule: new shape or new pattern.
Aren't they sweet. I'm having three soft-boiled eggs for breakfast tomorrow. With soldier boys. Yum!
