''Homemaker'' tableware was a range of mass-produced tableware that was very popular in the United Kingdom in the 1950s and 60s. The pattern was designed by Enid Seeney〔(Designer of iconic pottery tableware dies at 79 ) This is Staffordshire, ''The Sentinel'', 18 April 2011. Retrieved 20 February 2014. (Archived here. )〕〔 (2 June 1931 - 8 April 2011),〔(''ENID SEENEY'' ) by Simon C. Moss, c20th.com, 2014. Retrieved 20 February 2014. (Archived here. )〕 manufactured by Ridgway Potteries of Stoke-on-Trent between 1957 and 1970,〔(Enid Seeney obituary ) by Simon Moss, ''theguardian.com'', 8 May 2011. Retrieved 20 February 2014. (Archived here. ) Seeney also designed ''Samoa'' and ''English Garden''.〕 (1968 according to the Victoria & Albert Museum),〔(''"Homemaker" Tableware'' ), Victoria & Albert Museum, 2014. Retrieved 20 February 2014.〕 and initially sold exclusively through Woolworth's stores. ==Production== The first prototype was a single plate displayed on the Ridgway stand at the 1956 Blackpool trade fair where it attracted little interest. A prototype coffee set was then produced which was noticed by a buyer from Woolworths who placed an order in 1957 for tea sets to be sold in five London stores. Seeney left Ridgway soon after and did not know that the range was being sold throughout Britain until she later spotted it for sale in a branch of Woolworths in Plymouth.〔 The ''Homemaker'' range was first produced using the ''Metro'' shape created by Ridgway design director Tom Arnold (died 2002). ''Homemaker'' was earthenware, transfer printed with a glaze applied on top, which enabled it to be produced relatively cheaply and to appeal to a mass market. It was made in several different factories over its life. In 1959, the American company Homer-Laughlin made copies of the design.
