Homemaker tableware

Homemaker was a pattern of mass-produced earthenware tableware that was very popular in the United Kingdom in the 1950s and 60s. The pattern was designed by Enid Seeney (2 June 1931 – 8 April 2011), manufactured by Ridgway Potteries of Stoke-on-Trent between 1957 and 1970, and sold exclusively through Woolworth's stores.

The pattern was a distinctive black on white featuring illustrations of the latest home furnishings and utensils against a background of irregular black lines. Items illustrated included a boomerang or kidney shaped table, a Robin Day armchair, a Gordon Russell type sideboard, plant holders on legs, tripod lights and lamp shades, and a two seat Sigvard Bernadotte style sofa. Some very curved elements, such as teacups and lids, were plain black.
