Winfield Pottery/China Company - Dinnerware

Winfield Pottery was founded in 1929 and continued in production until 1962. The company began in Pasadena, California but moved to Santa Monica in 1946. After 1946, Winfield sold some of their rights to the American Ceramics Company so they began to mark their pottery with the name "Gabriel". Gabriel pieces are harder to find and identify but some of their patterns are identical to Winfield's. I carry pieces from eleven known patterns and several unidentified patterns.

Avocado

Winfield's avocado pattern is done in a two-tone green. It depicts an avocado fruit with its leaves.

Bamboo

Winfield is one of the well-known California potteries. The Bamboo pattern has a white background with a thin green rim and delicate bamboo sprigs on the face. Bamboo was produced in the 1940s.

Bird of Paradise

True to its name, the Winfield Bird of Paradise pattern features a Bird of Paradise flower on it. The background is a creamy-white with a green border.

Blue Pacific

Winfield's Blue Pacific dinnerware pattern has a sea blue background with white bamboo.

Blue Spruce

Winfield's Blue Spruce pattern features a white background with sprays of blueish-green spruce with black branches.

Desert Dawn

Winfield's Desert Dawn features a kind of mauve/brown background with a stylistic white desert plant and flower.

Dragon Flower

Winfield's Dragon Flower has a white background with a pink desert plant and flower. The pattern was produced in the 1940s.

Green Passion Flower

We haven't found anyone that really knows the name of this Winfield pattern. It is nearly the same as the pink Passion flower pattern except for the shape of the flower and the colors. Since the flower depicted is, in fact, a passion flower, we choose to call it that.

Passion Flower

Winfield's Passion Flower pattern has pink flowers and brown leaves on the larger pieces. Smaller pieces just have the leaves.

Pussy Willow

The Pussy Willow design by Winfield features a spray of fluffy white pussy willows with brown stems on a grayish-white background. The trim is also brown.

Thunderbird

The Winfield Thunderbird pattern dates back to the 1940s/early 1950s and is one of the more lesser known, hard-to-find patterns.

Tiger Iris

The Winfield Tiger Iris pattern features what we would describe as an orange and yellow tiger lily spray across the dish.

Unknown Winfield

This Winfield pattern is unknown to me (if you know what its called, I'd love to hear from you. The shapes are squared. The color is blue with brown trim.
