The purpose of this website is to provide a pictorial guide for the identification of Twin Winton Figurines and Pottery.

My name is Jerry Whetstine, and I live in Rathdrum Idaho. My wife Kathy and I have been collecting Twin Winton for the past 30+ years. Our collection consists of over 700 + figurines. We personally knew Don Winton and bought many Twin Winton pieces from his personal collection. He sold us these rare pieces and gave us his blessing to help preserve his legacy. This is the main reason why this website was created, and the other reason is the absolute love we have for his figurines. The collection also includes the largest known collection of "Children Album Figurines." Many were bought directly from Don's personal collection and are very rare. Many of the pictures featured in the "Don Winton Designs Book" by Michael Ellis are from our personal collection. Please check out the book for an insightful history of Don Winton and the Twin Winton Co.

This website is going to help identify unmarked Twin Winton Figurines. Many pieces of Twin Winton were not marked by the factory, and many pieces were copied by other California pottery companies, which makes it very hard to distinguish from Twin Winton.

I would like to network with other Twin Winton Collectors and share information, pictures, and stories. All you Twin Winton collectors out there, please contact me and let me know who you are. If anybody has a figurine that they suspect is an unmarked Twin Winton figurine or wants information on any figurine, please feel free to contact me. If anybody has Twin Winton figurines that are not pictured here, please send pictures to me, and I will post them on the website with your permission.

The website will continually be updated as new pictures and information are received.

It was an honor to know Don Winton before he passed. He was an incredible human being, and I truly love what he gave us through his pottery. His figurines mean everything in the world to us, and we will continue to improve and expand this website as a tribute to his legacy.

GOD BLESS YOU, DON AND NORMA WINTON
