Loving Vintage Chintz Patterns (incl. a Rare Antique Baby Dish)

Family Collection of Antique Chintz Patterns: (photos 1 - 3) Whose child ate meals with porcelain fine china over 85 years ago?! The Lord Nelson antique baby dish Chintz* pattern is stamped ‘Marina’ REG No. 821468 date marked 9/37 (Sept. 1937). ‘Marina’ is designed with an all over floral chintz pattern of pink, blue, yellow flowers upon a background of soft grey/silver leaves. Colours are bright … the servant obviously took care of this dish. This piece is not trimmed in gold; it is a baby dish after all! ‘Marina’ is a highly collectible English chintz pattern. It measures 8½” in diameter and is set with three serving sections and a broad band lip. This rare antique baby dish is in excellent condition with little wear; no cracks, chips or repairs; (crazing is visible to the glaze). OK, maybe it is a divided candy dish? … but it came with a silver baby spoon!

* Chintz designs became popular with English potters about 1928. It was manufactured on a large scale between the 1920s to early 1950s and appeared primarily on tea ware and dinner ware. Typical chintz ware is colour lithographed transfer paper applied over clear glazed ware, rather than the more conventional process of hand painting.
