context_page_description: Royal Winton is an English brand of earthenware and fine bone china tableware, made by Grimwades Limited, a Stoke-on-Trent based company founded by Leonard Lumsden Grimwade and his elder brother, Sidney Richard Grimwade, in 1885. Pieces are marked with either name, or both. Among many other themes, the company made pieces with New Zealand interest, partly directed at the market there.
  In 1928, they produced the first of their Chintz pattern designs, for which the company has become famous.
  In the 1980s the company was acquired by Coloroll, a home furnishings conglomerate. Following the financial failure of Coloroll, Royal Winton was bought out by the management. It has been merged with Duchess China Ltd of Longton.
