History
-
Mitterteich factory
began in 1887. It was established by Ludwig Lindner. In 1895 the factory was taken over by Mosanic Pottery Max Emanuel & Co. from London. The company was confiscated by Bavarian authorities during the World War I. From 1917 it worked as Porzellanfabrik Mitterteich A.G. Number of workers reached 300. Because of rising demand in 1925 was constructed a second facility and another one in 1937. In 2006 the company seized to exist.
Chintzware
, or
chintz pottery
, describes chinaware and pottery covered with a dense, all-over pattern of flowers. It is a form of transferware where the pattern is applied by transfer printing as opposed to the more traditional method of painting by hand.
The main firms making chintzware were English, nearly all part of the huge Staffordshire pottery  industry. including as Grimwades (trade name Royal Winton), A.G. Richardson & Co. (trade name Crown Ducal), James Kent Ltd.,  and Shelley Potteries Ltd. They made a variety of chintz dinnerware, tea ware, and ornamental pieces mostly from the 1920s to the 1960s with over 50 different patterns in various colors. While often made in pottery, some manufacturers such as Shelley produced bone china chintzware, particularly after World War II.
Chintzware was also copied at the time by German,
Czech and Japanese manufacturers.
