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.

The “Kismet” pattern draws inspiration from Indian art and psychedelic culture, making it one of Midwinter’s most distinctive and collectible series.
Beautifully versatile, it pairs effortlessly with natural materials such as rattan, wood, or glass, adding a sophisticated retro charm to any modern interior.
