Cute Carltonware small pitcher or creamer. I've seen pics similar in green but this is definitely yellow. Why do references say "Australian design"? Was this made in England for Australian market? Located in Iowa.
So lovely!!!
The Australian Design stamp was to protect Carlton Ware from Japan copying their designs.
"By the mid 1930’s the Japanese had become masters of copying good quality wares and Carlton Ware became a target. Prices for the imitations were much lower than the originals they copied, which caused much concern. However, Cuthbert discovered a clause in the South East Asia Treaty Organisation (SEATO) between Australia and Japan where designs registered in Australia could not be copied by the Japanese. He quickly took advantage of this by registering a large number of patterns in Australia. This explains the “Registered Australian Design) backstamp on many of their patterns."
Thanks Karen!!! I did not know that!!
