Vintage James Kent “Du Barry” Chintz Divided Serving Dish – All Over Floral – England vintage bottle Author: CH BenjaminClassic English chintz from James Kent, Longton Staffordshire in the sought after Du Barry pattern. This is the divided serving dish version with a central ridge, finished in a dense all over floral transfer typical of Kents mid century production. Nicely scalloped form with slight lobed handles. Bright, busy floral palette in pinks, blues, yellows and greens over a cream ground. Light age crazing to the glaze as expected. No major chips or cracks
