Poole Pottery "Chantilly"

Poole Pottery Chantilly is an attractive and less frequently found Poole design, noted for its strong dark chocolate glaze and contrasting cream decoration. The floral border is applied in a soft cream tone, sitting neatly against the darker ground on plates, cups and serving pieces.

The pattern was produced on the same Poole shape used for other popular floral designs such as Springtime and Summer Glory. This gives Chantilly a familiar Poole silhouette, with rounded forms that suit the softer floral border while still allowing the dark glaze to make a strong impression.

Chantilly has a slightly more formal feel than many of Poole’s brighter or more rustic tableware patterns. The cream interior on cups and bowls helps soften the overall look, while the dark exterior and border decoration give the range a smart, decorative character.

For many customers, Chantilly is a pattern they are trying to keep in regular use. As a discontinued Poole range, it is often sought out by those looking to replace a broken plate, find a missing cup, or add useful serving pieces to an existing set.

Availability depends entirely on what becomes available through the pre-loved market. Because Chantilly is not commonly found, individual pieces may only appear from time to time, so it is worth checking back if you are trying to match an existing set.
