Vintage Royal Winton Maroon Lace Chintz Tray | Iridescent Lusterware Dish Made England

Elevate your vanity, coffee table, or tea service with this exquisite piece of English ceramic history.

This Royal Winton Grimwades tray features a rare and moody Maroon Lace Chintz pattern — a sophisticated lace-overlay aesthetic on a deep burgundy ground, finished with a mesmerizing iridescent lustre glaze that catches blue and purple tones in the light. Produced at the famous Atlas Works in Stoke-on-Trent, this scalloped rectangular dish is a perfect example of mid-century British craftsmanship.
