A beautifully modelled Apple Blossom ceramic butter spreader from Carlton Ware’s much-loved Australian Design series. This petite piece features a sculpted blossom at the handle tip, finished in soft white and raspberry tones with a bright yellow centre — instantly recognisable as one of Carlton Ware’s most iconic floral motifs.
Glazed in a cool meadow green, the spreader has a gentle leaf-like taper that sits brings whimsy to the table.
