Product Description:

A striking Midwinter “Kismet” Tableware Set, designed by Joti Bhowmik and produced between 1968 and 1974, during the creative golden age of British ceramics.
Crafted in Midwinter’s renowned “Fine Shape” body designed by Marquis (David) Queensberry and Roy Midwinter, this collection embodies the spirit of late 1960s design with its bold geometric motifs and rich earth tones.
