If Carlton Ware is new to you, here is a short note about it.

Carlton Ware pottery was first produced around 1890 by Wiltshaw & Robinson in the town of Stoke in the County of Staffordshire in an area known as The Potteries. The pottery's wide-ranging, high-quality output is well-represented on the Internet, highlighting its significance in the history of Staffordshire pottery, especially during the 20th century.
