Chintzware is a pottery decorated in a colorful fabric pattern resembling Chintz fabric.  It has been produced in England since the 17C and is high collectible.  The most sought-after chintzware produced  in the 20th century came from Staffordshire, England.  That is the origin of Ann’s pieces, produced within the last 20 years.   As there is very little being made today, these pieces are quite special.  Do you know someone who would appreciate one?
