Maling - Blue Chintz

Maling marks used for Ringtons chintz

Maling had been successfully producing tea caddies for the Rington's tea company since the 1920s. They were sold filled with tea and once used, the customer had a lovely item to re-use. An early and clever way of 'branding' both firms. In the early 1930s Rington's commissioned a series of wares to include teapots, hot water and milk jugs. The result was a colourful blue printed chintz with hand enamelled red and yellow flower heads. Special Ringtons and Maling Ware backstamps were added. For more Rington's wares see Premier Antiques
