Carlton Ware Pink Water Lily

As the passion for cultivating water lilies in the late 18th century developed, some of the finest potters found inspiration in these exotic looking plants. In the 1930s, Carlton Ware revived what had essentially been of Victorian interest and gave it a 'modern' twist. One of the most striking items in their water lily range is this pink preserve dish, rare to find with its original spoon. Visit Premier Antiques for this and more superb examples of Carlton Ware.
