ROYAL WINTON GRIMWADES (1885-1960): Leonard Lumsden Grimwade (c. 1863-1931), and his brother formed the firm Grimwade Brothers in 1885. They specialised in earthenware and fine bone china.
By 1890 new showrooms were opened in both London and Stoke-on-Trent and they became Grimwades Ltd with the purchase of the Winton Porcelain Factory in 1900.
King George V and Queen Mary visited the potteries in 1913 and the brothers produced a commemorative catalogue to celebrate the event.

IN 1928 THE FIRST ROYAL WINTON PATTERN WAS PRODUCED, INCLUDING THEIR NEW CHINTZ DESIGNS FOR WHICH THE POTTERY BECAME FAMOUS AND THEY OFFICIALLY CHANGED THEIR NAME TO ROYAL WINTON IN 1930.

They introduced more than 60 Chintz designs and became the leading manufacturer of this type of chintzware (Chintzware, or chintz pottery, describes chinaware and pottery covered with a dense, all-over pattern of flowers) which they exported to the USA and most commonwealth companies.

The firm was bought out in the 1960s by Henry Potter Ltd and the Chintz designs were discontinued. CHINTZWARE HAS NOW BECOME HIGHLY DESIRABLE COLLECTORS ITEMS AND CHRISTIES OF LONDON RUN AUCTIONS DEDICATED TO THIS TYPE OF POTTERY. The company was sold again in 1995 and the new owners revered back to trading as Royal Winton under the old company name of Grimwades Ltd.

Due to the ongoing popularity, the company produced a new piece of Royal Winton Chintz in March 1997, the first such piece for nearly forty years. The 11 octagonal vase in the Florence pattern was unveiled to resounding approval and the Chintz Convention in Pasadena, California.
