Carlton Ware Rouge Royale Spiders Web Plate

A beautiful vintage plate by Carlton Ware in the Spiders Web pattern in the rouge royale colourway which was introduced in the 1950's.  It carries the standard Carlton Ware backstamp used during this period.  It also has the impressed number 2037 which refers to the shape.

This much sort after pattern features a spider in a web, together with a butterfly and dragonfly amid surrounds of flowers, leaves and bluebells.  They are hand-painted on a rouge ground. 

It is in excellent condition having no repairs, chips, cracks or stains.  It has minor crazing to the base only, which is unusual for a piece of this age.  The rouge ground and gold trim are in excellent condition.  The only point to mention is a scratch on the underside, which obviously cannot be seen when the plate is displayed.  The colours are bright and vivid and this plate displays brilliantly.

Dimensions - 23 cms dia., 3½ cms high (measurements are approximate)
