In 1964 J & G Meakin launched the studio 2 shape by the industrial designer Tom Arnold. The tall and slender coffee pots were ideal for the latest up to date patterns. I believe that there were 39 or more different patterns.
In 1968 J & G Meakin took over the midwinter pottery and gained the design talents of Jessie Tait. The impact pattern (1969) was specifically produced for the studio 2 shape. Inca (1970) was another Jessie Tait pattern and also Manderley (1968) but this pattern was originally for the midwinter 'MQ2' shape.
