The chintz pattern first arrived in Europe from India in the early 17th century in the form of brightly printed calico fabric with vibrant floral and bird motifs.
The well-spaced imagery and the ample size of the eponymous flower depicted on Johnson Brothers Rose Chintz reflects the early attempts of pottery manufacturers to duplicate the design.
Love this pattern! I bought a set for twelve in 1989-90. I still have it and use it everyday. If I want to dress it up, I just use my silver flatware and some pink hobmail goblets. Such a lovely look!
I love this Patern also and would like to know where I can find it
Replacements website sells pieces. It is no longer manufactured…..so sad!
My Nana, who is from England, had this pattern for her china. She has a full 12 place setting that we would always enjoy during the holidays. My mom and I are sharing them now that she is gone. There is a tea place near me and they have a whole curio cabinet full of this pattern. I absolutely love it as it brings back such lovely memories.
I absolutely love this pattern! I have a 10 place setting plus extras. The only parts I don’t have is the tea pot and sugar bowl.
