{"product_id":"carlton-ware-poppy-three-footed-bowl","title":"Carlton Ware 'Poppy' Salad Bowl, Three-Footed, Art Deco, c.1930s–40s, Made in England","description":"\u003cp\u003eCarlton Ware knew its Australian market. The \"Registered Australian Design\" stamp on the base of this bowl isn't a footnote — it's a declaration. Wiltshaw \u0026amp; Robinson went to the trouble of officially patenting the Poppy pattern for the Australian export trade, which tells you everything about how eagerly these pieces were received here in the post-war years. Finding one onshore today, intact and in this condition, is the happy result of that history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cem\u003ePoppy\u003c\/em\u003e pattern is one of Carlton Ware's most beloved Salad Ware designs — the entire body of the bowl sculpted to resemble a single oversized opening poppy flower, its interior walls ripple-moulded to replicate delicate petals. The deep centre showcases the anatomical heart of the flower: a heavily stippled seed pod ringed in black and crimson pollen stamens encircling a raised pink stigma. Hugging the rim, an integrated green leaf cluster frames a closed pink bud — doubling as a thumb-rest handle. The creamy primrose ground keeps the palette fresh and light, a considered addition to a cottagecore table setting or displayed as a sculptural object in its own right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat elevates this particular example is the three-footed base. The tripod configuration — feet moulded seamlessly into the structure — is far less common than the flat-bottomed plates and pin dishes in the same series, and significantly more desirable among collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carlton Ware \/ Wiltshaw \u0026amp; Robinson, Carlton Works, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003ePoppy\u003c\/em\u003e (Embossed Floral, Salad Ware range)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Art Deco; c.1930s–1940s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Round scalloped salad bowl on three moulded tripod feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourway:\u003c\/strong\u003e Primrose\/creamy yellow ground with green foliage, pink bud, black and crimson seed pod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Relief-moulded earthenware, hand-painted underglaze, high-gloss glaze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBackstamp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carlton Ware \/ Handpainted \/ Made in England \/ Registered Australian Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent.
