Up for sale or buy-it-now is a gorgeous mid-century modern era ceramic ginger jar produced by Carlton Ware in Stoke-on-Trent, England. This piece features their highly collectible, deep iridescent ruby \"Rouge Royale\" luster glaze.
The front showcases a beautiful circular transferware cameo depicting Jean-Honoré Fragonard\'s famous 1767 Rococo painting, The Swing, complete with a finely gilded border frame and a delicate gold-gilt accent design immediately beneath the medallion. The base features the classic authentic gold script factory stamp reading \"Carlton Ware / Made in England / Trade Mark\", alongside original red hand-painted factory gilder marks.
Please Note: This listing is for the base only; the original lid is missing. Thanks to its clean inner rim opening and elegant ovoid profile, it transitions beautifully into a standalone accent vase, makeup brush container, or desk accessory.
Condition Notes:
• Lid Status: Missing lid.
• Crazing: Features a very distinct, all-over network of fine glaze crazing lines across the inner mouth, outer body, and underside base, which is perfectly standard and highly expected for vintage Carlton Ware luster glazes of this era.
• Overall State: Free of any chips, cracks, or repairs. The gold-gilt trim around the rim and medallion displays excellent luster with minimal signs of handling wear.
Please review all photographs closely to verify the exact visual details and condition before purchasing.
