A "Winkle" in Time

I bought five of these beauties for $1.25. And to think I had to think about it.

Anonymous J left a comment on my weekend post regarding those stylish mugs I bought for a song at Vincent de Paul's Value Shoppe. She speculates that I may have found Kathie Winkle cups. I've done some not-very thorough Googling, but did find a link to some pictures of her work. http://www.pips-trip.co.uk/sold-pottery-archives/british-pottery-2/showitem-IRON-WINKLE1.aspx
See what you think. I believe the cups I bought just say "England" on the bottom. Perhaps they were made in the style of Kathie Winkle.
Thank you Anonymous J for letting me know about the exciting designs of Ms. Winkle.

    This book would be a great resource http://fiveandtwo.typepad.com/fiveandtwo/2007/11/kathie-winkle.html
    Once you start looking her designs and others similar seem to be everywhere.
