Rose Chintz

Although Chintz-ware seems to have fallen out of fashion I still have special affection for it. These little desert plates were given to me by my daughter and I love to mix and match them with my other china patterns. To me they speak of English manor houses, and leisurely afternoons...sipping tea and nibbling on delicious treats in the company of special friends.










I have paired these dishes with an the equally elegant, Bewitched, a rose I hope to never be without. It is so generous with it's large, profuse blooms and classic form. Here, in Southern California we are lucky enough to have a flush of re bloom on many of our roses in the fall.



Thank you for stopping by to visit. I hope that you have a little beauty in your day.

    I love chintz too. One of my favorites is a breakfast set given to my by an elderly aunt about 30 years ago. It has a chintz toast rack, cup and saucer, tea pot, individual sugar and creamer all on a chintz platter. It makes me feel very cosy when I look at it.

    You have created a lovely visual and I can smell the roses and taste the tea in my mind.

    Your chintz plates are so perfect with your lovely rose and what's most important is that you love them and enjoy using them even if fashion says something else! Thanks for stopping by!

    Hello Adrienne:
    We love chintz patterned china and indeed Chintz as a fabric. We agree with you that it speaks of country houses and afternoon tea and looks perfectly at home with the very pretty pink roses which you show here. Lovely!

    I think it is still very pretty, and if use right, I don't think it is out-dated. Very lovely indeed.

    they looks so feminine.

    I've never been one to care necessarily for what's "in fashion"...I love chintzware! I love the English manor look. This is what I imagine when I'm reading the novels by Rosamunde Pilcher...
