I had no idea the range of Midwinter pottery was so vast. I've narrowed this down to the 'Fine' shape and 'Sienna' design, from this Midwinter pottery identification guide, as designed by Jesse Tait: about whom it was said, "..The work she made as chief designer of Midwinter Pottery was characteristic of its time: cheerily and wittily modernist, exuberantly abstract and imbued with the forward-looking visual style of the Festival of Britain".
This particular mug may have been a sample or a second. It has the number 14 stamped on the bottom in tiny green lettering and has what appears to be a cracked handle which has been professionally reglazed and refired.
