Royal Winton pin dish, anemone pattern, hand decorated and signed by the artist

Auld Curiosities is pleased to offer this small Royal Winton trinket / pin dish for your consideration. By physical size it may appear a small offering but there is a rather nice piece of history behind the attractive, hand painted and hand signed dish. Research reveals that Z Kas was a Polish refuge who, along with others, made England home following the invasion of Poland by German forces which led on to WW2. Of those refuges, a few (I believe about 6) were employed by the Royal Winton with Z Kas showing exceptional skill as a ceramic artist. As a result of that talent this artist was given the privilege of being allowed to sign each piece of work in their own hand (rather than a printed name on the reverse as part of the back-stamp. This offering has the ‘Anemone’ pattern expertly rendered within a date range of 1946 to mid 1950’s. Condition is excellent and the dish has a diameter of 4 13/16” (122mm) measured excluding the handles and the dish stands 1 3/8” high at the most elevated point of the rim.
