It was an immediate sensation and has never really gone out of fashion, which is exactly why serious chintz collectors still hunt for it nearly a century later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rectangular serving plate is an early production piece, authenticated by its pre-war green printed backstamp reading \"Made in England\" — without the wartime letter markings that came later. That places it firmly in the 1930s, before the restrictions of the war years changed what the Staffordshire potteries could produce. A considered addition to an existing \u003cem\u003eOld Cottage Chintz\u003c\/em\u003e collection, a chintz display shelf, or a high tea table that deserves the real thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Royal Winton Grimwades, Staffordshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eOld Cottage Chintz\u003c\/em\u003e (introduced 1932)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e c.1930s (pre-war, verified by early green backstamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23cm L × 16.5cm W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 325g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e English earthenware, all-over chintz transfer with gold gilding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eExcellent vintage condition.
