An occasional series featuring questions from the public about vintage Heywood-Wakefield pieces

Question

I’ve attached a photo of a Heywood-Wakefield M1542 base, M546 top, both pieces are marked “Wheat”.  Can you tell me the year they were made?

Thanks,
Ed

Heywood-Wakefield’s Answer

Dear Ed,

Congratulations; that’s a beautiful set!

The M 1546 China was made in 1957. The M 1542 Buffet Base was made from 1958 to 1959.

Thank you for your inquiry.
