Vintage Maling Ware “Peony Rose” Sugar Bowl & Creamer – Pair

Description

A rich and characterful vintage sugar bowl and creamer set by Maling, Newcastle upon Tyne — also commonly known as Maling Ware.

Finished in Maling’s distinctive deep cobalt blue glaze, this pair is decorated with bold, hand-applied floral motifs in pink, amber and green. Designs like this are often associated with the Peony Rose and related floral patterns produced by Maling in the mid-20th century.

Maling Ware is loved for its glossy finish, confident colour, and slightly sculptural forms. This pair is both practical and decorative — made to be used, but beautiful enough to live on display.

Maker History

Maling (often referred to as Maling Ware) was one of England’s most celebrated pottery makers, operating in Newcastle upon Tyne from the late 19th century through to the 1960s.

Their post-war wares embraced colour, optimism and modern living, making them instantly recognisable — and still very collectable today.
