Product Description
A striking example of Carlton Ware's celebrated Rouge Royale range, this elegant tea caddy features a rich lustrous ground beautifully decorated with hand-painted enamels depicting exotic birds of paradise, butterflies, flowers and delicate trailing foliage.
Dating to the 1930s and standing approximately 17cm tall, the piece bears the higher-quality gold Carlton Ware backstamp and showcases the craftsmanship and vibrant artistry that made Rouge Royale one of the company's most sought-after lines. The interior lid and rim display a beautiful rainbow lustre finish, adding further richness and visual appeal.
Originally designed to store precious tea leaves at a time when tea was considered a luxury commodity, today it makes a wonderful decorative display piece and an impressive addition to any Carlton Ware or Art Deco collection.
Each piece in our collection carries the subtle marks of time, adding to its authenticity and charm. Any notable details are thoughtfully included in the description and imagery. Should you wish to see more, we are always happy to assist.
