Chintz Cotton cloth, usually with patterns of flowers, that has a slightly shiny appearance. Originally it was glazed calico textiles, specifically those imported from India, printed with designs featuring flowers and other patterns in different colours. Since the 19th century the term has also been used for the style of floral decoration developed in those calico textiles, but then used more widely, for example on chintzware pottery and wallpaper. |
