Wincraft

This line from 1948, with sleek designs and bright colors under a glossy finish, was named for then-company president Robert Windisch. There is really no consistent trait to these pieces other than the sheen. The company borrowed design elements from earlier lines and favored colors like chartreuse, apricot, and azure blue. Pieces usually have raised marks.
