No cracks or chips.
Burleigh Blue Calico Traditional dark blue Burleigh Calico made in Staffordshire, England by Burgess & Leigh. This popular chintz design has been in continuous production for 50 years, since S&S Agencies of New York asked A J Wilkinson & Son of Burslem, Staffordshire to copy a chintz tablecloth design and reproduce it on traditional earthenware. Initially, it was sold in the USA under the Royal Crownford name, but as it grew in popularity it was distributed more widely, especially from 1968 when Burgess and Leigh took over manufacture and it appeared in the Habitat store chain in Britain. Today, Burgess & Leigh still make Burleigh Calico using the time honoured technique of hand decorating by laying down printed tissue paper onto the china items to "transfer" the design from printer to piece. Burleigh Calico is fine English earthenware, robust in everyday use, dishwasher and microwave shops safe.
