Barb's Borders

2024 is the Year of the Dragon. But here at Carlton Ware World,
it is going to be the Year of the Border.

Over the next months, courtesy of Melbourne based Barbara Anne Lee, I feature the many borders created for Carlton Ware's Best Ware patterns. Some of these were highly elaborate.

We begin with the general borders that were used on many patterns over decades. Be impressed by Barb's excellent work by a click or tap on the image on the right. ❑

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

Carlton Ware pottery was first made c.1890 by Wiltshaw & Robinson in the town of Stoke in the County of Staffordshire in an area known as The Potteries. Its 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.
