Broadhurst | Alicante | Kathie Winkle | Retro Tableware

Alicante is a striking departure from the muted brown, green and orange combo of a lot of Kathie's work. It's a bold representation of a warmer climate than say, the North of England where Kathie spent her life. And yet as colours go, strictly speaking its the combination that makes the difference not the scheme. The green is still the muted green of renaissance, but the juxtaposition with the turquoise of Corfu creates a busy and striking impression. Compare it with its closest sibling decor - Agincourt.

Kathie Winkle & Broadhurst MCM

I love vintage porcelain I find in flea markets in and around Gothenburg, but I also love the pottery I grew up with in the North of England (it’s a lot better suited to my budget for one thing!). MCM Broadhurst pottery is synonymous with the patterns Kathie Winkle whose knack for design is increasingly recognised as pure genius. Since they tend to use groups of similar colour schemes, they also mix and match very well. That means you don't have to remain restricted to one pattern to get a beautiful table setting and in the spirit of Kathie, you go with your taste and your budget.
