Vintage Royal Winton Grimwades Chintz Kew 279 Rowsley Chocolate Basket Gilded

Description

This Delightful Royal Winton Grimwades Chocolate Basket is in the Kew Pattern, #279.   This pattern was discontinued in 1950 and this Rowsley shape, with the slightly swirled or twisted handle isn't an easy one to find.   This Basket was made in England and the pattern name refers to an long ago incorporated area in England.  This Lovely Basket is the larger size and measures approximately
5-1/4" tall,  5-1/4" across, measuring from its widest point and 3-1/4" wide.
This Vintage Chocolate or Candy, footed Basket has a Gold Gilded, scalloped rim and a Gorgeous Floral Chintz Pattern including Roses, Dahlias and what we think might be Dianthus against a Cream background together with a Gold Gilded Edge along the Handle and inside where the Pattern Ends.   The bottom is fully marked as we have shown in our photos and includes the pattern name and number together with the Royal Winton marks.
Overall this Royal Winton Basket is in Excellent condition.  It has very light crazing on the interior of the Basket and the bottom of the foot where the hallmarks are.  On the very bottom there is pitting and a 1/8" area of glaze loss both appear to be in the original firing of this piece.   On one edge it appears that the original owner of the Candy Basket picked it up from the edge most likely saving the handle from breakage, but where we see light wear.  We have included close up Photos of these areas in our listing.
