Over decades of success, Royal Winton had produced over 60 Chintz patterns while exporting to the USA and most Commonwealth nations. Production of Chintz stopped in the early 1960s as a result of high production costs associated with the design, although Royal Winton Chintz has become in demand in today’s antique market. There are collectors clubs all over the world along with published reference books. Christie’s of London runs sales exclusive to Chintz pottery.
Chintzware
Chintzware is chinaware and pottery with a dense, floral pattern all-over (similar to chintz textile patterns). It takes its origin from the Hindu word “chhintna” meaning “to sprinkle with”. Rather than the conventional hand painting of the 1700s, patterns are applied by transfer printing (a method of decorating ceramics or enamels using engraved copper or steel plate – a monochrome print on paper is taken and transferred by pressing onto the ceramic piece).

Chintz popularity grew so much that it was outlawed in 1722 by the British parliament in order to protect the English Textile industry; a law which was bypassed by “Calico Printers” who created more appealing and affordable products by print-decorating plain white fabric.
The chintz pattern known as “Marguerite” was first introduced by England’s Grimwades Ltd, who had the trade name “Royal Winton in 1928, a design which was reportedly inspired by the wife of the company founder Leonard Grimwade. Other companies that made chintzware include A.G Richardson & Co (Crown Ducal), James Kent Ltd, Elijah Cotton Ltd (Lord Nelson), Wedgewood & Co and Brexton. They all produced a variety of colourful chintz glazed earthenware from 1920s-1960s.
Over 50 different colourful patterns were produced. After the Second World War, manufacturers like Shelley concentrated on bone china (a type of porcelain that is made up of bone ash, feldspathic material, and kaolin) chintzware. At the time, Japanese, Czech and German manufacturers imitated chintzware as Royal Winton started production of some of their chintz in the late 90s.
