The 2 green plates in the photo were rescued from my hoarder uncle's house when we cleared it out in 2020. They were obviously my Gran's and I just loved them. They're Carlton Ware circa 1950s, maybe a bit earlier according to my research. I had them displayed in the dining room of my old house and my DIL loved them too.
Last week she found a teapot, sugar bowl and salt/pepper set in a charity shop and messaged me. They were £12 for the set and she wondered if I'd like them. I said "get them!" and now I'm kinda collecting them! 😂😂😂
I spent some time last night researching the patterns. It's Carlton Ware Australian Design on a green background and the flower designs are Primula and Wild Rose. The surface and flowers are raised. They were made in green, yellow and white and have different flower designs. If you look at the salt and pepper set they are actually the Foxglove design. They're not particularly valuable although a similar teapot and sugar bowl is for sale on Etsy for £45. I like them because they connect me to my Gran and I do think they're pretty.
So today my DIL was in a charity shop and saw this!!
It looks like a bonbon dish! The label said £5 x 2 but the second item couldn't be found. So she paid £2.50 for it!!
So the collection is already growing! 😁 I have no idea how to display them and I do want to use them (carefully!!) so any suggestions welcome!
