This is a stylish and rather rare vintage Carlton Ware Coffee Set. It is a rather minimalistic design with all the pieces being of a streamlined shape.
The set consists of a tall coffee pot, a little milk jug, an open sugar bowl, and four shallow cups and saucers.
Each piece is decorated with an abstracted floral pattern. There is an impressed decorative pattern on the edge of the saucers and lid of the coffee pot. This reminds me of patterns that appear on vintage Danish Wiinblad pieces for Rosenthal.
The thing that I love the best about this set is the dropped handle on the coffee pot, as well as the stylish shape and detailing of each piece. They are all marked with the Carlton Ware mark on the base, as photographed.
Dimensions: The coffee pot is 8 inches in height and 6 1/2 inches wide at the widest point. From handle to spout it is 8 1/2 inches (825 grams unpacked). The cups are 2 1/4 inches in height and with a diameter of 3 inches. The saucers are 5 inches in diameter. The sugar bowl is 3 inches in diameter and is 2 1/4 inches in height. The milk jug is 3 inches in diameter; from handle to spout it is 4 1/2 inches and the height is 2 1/2 inches.
All are in pretty good condition with no chips or cracks. They look lovely on display and this pattern and shape are quite rare. I certainly have never seen this abstract pattern on this space-age shape before.
