{"product_id":"carlton-ware-warter-lily-serving-bowl-earthenware","title":"Carlton Ware \"Water Lily\" Serving Bowl, Made in England, Circa 1938–1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a particular kind of beauty in a piece that wears its age honestly. This Carlton Ware \"Water Lily\" serving bowl, produced in Stoke-on-Trent between the late 1930s and 1950s, carries the fine crazing that is the hallmark of mid-century earthenware — not a flaw, but a fingerprint of time. Clean, unstained, and structurally sound, it is exactly what collectors mean when they talk about character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Water Lily pattern sits within Carlton Ware’s celebrated Australian Design registration series — a two-tone green satin lustre finish with an embossed relief motif that captures the organic, art-influenced aesthetic the Staffordshire potteries did so well in this era. Mould number 1780\/3, this is a mid-sized serving bowl that works beautifully as a centrepiece fruit bowl, a bread basket, or simply displayed on a shelf where the lustre glaze can catch the light. A considered addition to any collection of English studio pottery or vintage green ceramics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiltshaw \u0026amp; Robinson (Carlton Ware), Stoke-on-Trent, England\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water Lily\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMould:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1780\/3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Circa 1938–1950s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 cm long, 15.5 cm wide, 5.5 cm high\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthenware with two-tone green satin lustre glaze\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\u003eGood condition with age-appropriate wear.
