Carltonware - Spice container (4) - Ceramic, Glaze - Gold-traced leaf shape

This condiment set by Carlton Ware remains a complete four-piece ensemble, comprising a leaf-shaped tray and three vessels: a salt shaker, a pepper shaker, and a lidded condiment pot. The bodies of the vessels feature a relief-molded design with a reddish-brown glaze that exhibits natural kiln-effect variations. The tray is finished with a pearlescent, iridescent glaze that displays a rich play of colors as the light shifts, with edges hand-outlined in gold. The glaze shows natural age-related crazing and minor signs of use consistent with its age; there are no chips or losses, and the gilding shows expected signs of aging.
