Charming in scale yet full of character, this vintage Carlton Ware miniature floral dish captures the joyful colour and sculptural detail that made the English factory so beloved throughout the early–mid 20th century.
Hand-painted in soft shades of white and pink with a vivid yellow and green centre, the dish mimics a single bloom in full open form. These small Carlton Ware pieces were often created as giftware or dressing-table accessories, but today you can use them as miniature butter pats, ring dishes, or simply as decorative objects with vintage charm.
