CarltonWare: Poppy & Anemone Scalloped Serving Platter

A highly collectible mid-century English commercial pottery piece that occupies a specific niche within the export market history.

While Carlton Ware produced a high volume of salad ware lines, this specific pattern combining large poppies and low-relief anemones on an un-divided round plate is scarce and hard to find compared to their standard digitalis or primrose shapes. The vibrant lime green baseline glaze creates a striking visual contrast with the hand-painted elements. It serves beautifully as a functional dessert presentation plate or as a vivid wall-mounted art installation.

Manufactured by Wiltshaw and Robinson under the Carlton Ware brand name in Stoke-on-Trent, England. Features the verified underglaze script backstamp with registered trade protections for the Australian market. This specific round shape with the combined poppy and anemone relief pattern is scarce compared to the more ubiquitous leaf-shaped dishes from the same factory. Collectors frequently monitor regional estate circuits to source this variant for complete multi-piece botanical installations.

Scarce mid-century English pottery round embossed floral serving dish.
Hand-painted relief decoration featuring poppies and delicate anemones.
Vibrant lime green glazed ground with scalloped rim architecture.
Genuine mid-20th-century manufacture with factory-incised model codes.
Features uniform, stable underglaze crazing consistent with production methods.

This variant is considered hard to find because round plates were highly prone to warpage during the multi-stage firing process required for heavy relief work. Consequently, the factory produced far fewer true round platters in this pattern compared to their organic, asymmetrical leaf-moulded dishes.

Made in England, c. 1950s-1960s, making this item 60+ years old.

Approximate Dimensions: Diameter: 32cm, Height: 1cm

Excellent vintage condition. The surfaces are smooth, clean, and entirely free of chips, structural cracks, or post-production repairs. The enamel paintwork remains intact and crisp. Fine, uniform age-appropriate underglaze crazing is present across the front and back surfaces, which is an expected characteristic of vintage Staffordshire earthenware.
