This trio represents a different and more demanding strand of their production from the same period: an all-over gold filigree ground — a dense, continuous trailing vine and trefoil leaf network applied in gold over a warm cream earthenware body — with individual daisy-form flowers hand-applied in raised polychrome enamel at intervals across the surface. The technique required separate production stages for the gold ground and the enamel flower application, and pieces carrying both treatments in this condition are less commonly encountered than the transfer chintz patterns that have driven Royal Winton's collector market. No pattern name appears on this backstamp; the mark with pattern number and Grimwades \/ Made in England format without the later \"Ltd\" addition places production between 1930 and 1934.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cup is the standard Royal Winton footed form with a plain loop handle, gilded at the rim. The exterior carries the full gold filigree ground with enamel flowers in red, yellow, turquoise blue, white, and green; the interior is glazed in a warm amber lustre with a fine gold rim line. The saucer carries the same gold ground and enamel flower decoration with a gold line at the scalloped rim. The side plate is the square canted-corner form with the same all-over treatment and a gold rim line edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll three pieces show minor age-consistent crazing to the earthenware body, visible under raking light. The gold filigree ground on the side plate shows some wear and patchy areas to the gold surface — noted. The cup and saucer gold ground is in stronger condition. The enamel flower colouring is fully intact and vivid on all three pieces. No chips or cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Details\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Grimwades Royal Winton, Made in England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePattern: Unnamed — gold lace filigree ground with hand-applied polychrome enamel daisy flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShape: Standard footed cup with loop handle; circular saucer; square canted-corner side plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBackstamp: Royal Winton \/ Grimwades \/ Made in England — circa 1930–1934; pattern number present; no pattern name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePieces: 3 — cup, saucer, side plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Earthenware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod: Circa 1930–1934\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDecoration: All-over gold filigree trailing vine and trefoil leaf ground; raised hand-applied polychrome enamel flowers in red, yellow, turquoise, white, and green; amber lustre interior to cup; gold line rim throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilding: Very good — enamel flowers fully intact; gold ground wear and patchy areas to side plate; cup and saucer gold ground stronger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Very good — minor age crazing on all pieces; gold ground wear to side plate; no chips or cracks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuyer profile: Royal Winton specialist collector; pre-war Staffordshire earthenware collector; buyer drawn to hand-applied enamel decoration over transfer chintz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe enamel flowers have held their colour for ninety years against a ground that required a gilder's full attention — which is a reasonable measure of the quality Grimwades was capable of when they chose to apply it.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Dancing Faun ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45004873564360,"sku":null,"price":495.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/3497\/2104\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_293b4031-ec68-403e-8261-453805c6b90b.png?v=1775892572","url":"https:\/\/dancingfaun.co.za\/products\/grimwades-royal-winton-gold-lace-ground-with-polychrome-enamel-flowers-one-trio-circa-1930-1934","provider":"The Dancing Faun ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
