Vintage 1930s Carlton Relief Ware Australian Design yellow buttercup small tea pot

Wonderful and rare small tea pot for two set in the Carlton Ware Australian Design Buttercup, yellow colour, dating from 1930's-1940's.

The Buttercup pattern is a very popular and collectable design

The pattern was introduced by Carlton Ware in about 1936 and continued until the 1940's and maybe a bit later. It was produced in two colourways: yellow and pink and is a very pleasing and aesthetic design.

The buttercup itself is not used just as a painted decorative design on the outside of the piece, it is also used within the shape each item - many pieces with handles or spouts had aspects of the flower incorporated into this feature in a very decorative way.

This delightful art deco tea pot is wonderful to add to a collection of other Carlton Ware pieces and it's also a fantastic stand alone item which displays beautifully! 

Measures total width including spout and handle is 7¼" (18.5cm) x 4¾" (12cm) tall ….. all approx.  Very good overall condition
