Carlton Ware - Yellow Buttercup

Carlton Ware Yellow 'Buttercup' Trefoil Dish c1939

A classic Carlton Ware design and one of the most collected. It looks great as a single collection, but also mixes well with other designs, particularly when it's used as a contrast with green Foxglove and Apple Blossom. Here are three unusual pieces, rare to find especially in good condition. For more Buttercup see Premier Antiques

Carlton Ware Green 'Fruit Basket'

Carlton Ware Green 'Fruit Basket' Art Deco Chamber Stick c1935

I was pleased to find a perfect one of these lovely little art deco chamber sticks. Over the years I've seen one or two but they've always been badly damaged, I guess because the finned handle is difficult to hold especially with a lighted candle.
