This exceptionally rare example of Chintz, has survived for over 90 years in style, design and condition. These pots scarcely come available for sale, especially original examples such as this one.

In great condition for its age but the handle has recived a repair at some point in the past. This is only visable if pointed out and only on extreamly close inspection (clean break), no crazing. The pot is covered with the Chintz pattern including the handle and the spout which relativly rare. The gold gilt edges are also good with minmal age related wear.

This pot is a fabulously decorative item that is also sure a investment which will only continue to grow in value and appeal.

Chintz pottery (a tightly grouped, small floral all over patterns) started becoming available in England in the early 1900s. Chintz was manufactured on a large scale between the 1920s and early 1950s and appearing primarily on basic tea ware and dinner ware. Typical chintz ware is lithographed transferpaper applied over clear glazed ware to retain the bright and natural colors of the paper. The widest range of transfer patterns were offered by the Winton Potteries, many of these designs were reserved, however a few were sold to other pottery manufacturers. Among the most widely seen patterns available to other potteriesare the Rose Violet/Rose du Barry pattern andPaisley.

During World War II only practical ware was manufactured and decorating of this white ware was forofferden. However some black market chintz was produced by unscrupulous dealers at this time. The pottery trade in recession after the post war boom chintz ware was no longer produced by Winton Potteries by the mid 1950s their stock of lithographed sheets were sold to other pottery manufacturers. In the mid 1990s due to the interest in chintz ware the potteries began reproducing their products. But for me personally there nothing like the feel of an original vintage pot.
