Object Inquiry, Chintz Pattern
Posted by Joanne Picard on January 25, 2024, 5:45 pm
I recently acquired a small (3 inches high) straight-sided object in the chintz pattern by Ridgways (see photos). The lip at the top seems to indicate that there would have been a lid of some kind, so I don't think it is a vase. According to the notes in the database, the pattern was used primarily for children's dinner ware and tea ware, which fits the small size of the piece, but doesn't help identify its purpose, and I haven't found anything like it in any of the reference books I own. Any ideas about what it would have been used for? Thanks, Joanne
