A rare and exquisite 5-piece English chintz breakfast or tea service ensemble produced by Royal Winton (Grimwades) in the quintessential "Summertime" floral pattern. Famed for its all-over dense transferware featuring vibrant pink roses, cheerful yellow daisies, bluebells, and lush garden foliage, this set captures the charm of mid-century English ceramics.
Ensemble Components

2. Open Sugar Bowl: Footed rim design lined with gold trim and smooth cream-glazed interior.
3. Salt & Pepper Shakers (Pair): Domed, bell-shaped shakers decorated in full chintz with original cork stoppers attached.
4. Shaker Display Tray / Tray Base: Formed rectangular tray with scalloped, flared ends designed to anchor the condiment pair or serve as a standalone small tidbit dish.
* The sugar tongs are for display purposes only and not included with the set.

Creamer & Sugar Bowl: Stamped on the underside with the green backstamp: "Royal Winton / Grimwades / Made in England" alongside the pattern name "Summertime".

Flaws / Imperfections: There is a tiny, shallow fleabite/chip on the bottom outer rim edge of one shaker (clearly captured in the photo). When seated upright on a display surface or resting inside the tray, it is hardly noticeable and does not compromise structural integrity. Surface & Finish: Free of cracks or other repairs. Displays light, age-appropriate micro-crazing on the underside glaze—typical for authentic vintage English earthenware of this era—and minimal wear to the gold-gilded rims. Stoppers & Functionality: The original crumbling corks have been thoughtfully restored with fresh, custom-fitted cork stoppers, ensuring both shakers are completely clean, functional, and ready for use. less
