Carlton Ware “Apple Blossom” Chocolate Mug — Australian Design Series ( Two Designs)
This charming Apple Blossom chocolate mug is a lovely example from Carlton Ware’s much-loved Australian Design series, produced in the 1940s–1950s. The pattern is known for its raised blossom branches and soft hand-painted colours — a classic combination that captures the optimism and craftsmanship of mid-century Stoke-on-Trent pottery.
The mug features textured blossom sprays in gentle pinks and greens, giving it that organic, sculptural feel collectors admire. There is some light rubbing to the lid, fully expected for its age, but the overall piece remains bright, characterful, and beautifully balanced.
Carlton Ware “Basket / Springtime” Chocolate Mug — Rare Australian Design Series
This Basket / Springtime chocolate mug is a rare and sought-after piece from Carlton Ware’s Australian Design series, produced in the 1940s–1950s. Unlike the more frequently seen floral patterns, the Basket design appears far less often on the market, making it a special find for collectors.
The mug features a beautifully moulded basket-weave motif wrapped in soft pastel spring flowers, all hand-painted with Carlton Ware’s signature attention to detail. The raised texture gives it a lovely tactile quality, and the colours remain gentle and bright — a perfect example of mid-century decorative whimsy.
