THE BACKSTAMP

DATING CARLTON WARE

The following information is from the links included in this logo

Intoduction

To help date Carlton Ware you need to look at
(1) the Carlton Ware (or W&R) backstamp or logo,
(2) the pattern number (usually handpainted) on the base, and
(3) the impressed number on the base

Sometimes the pattern numbers and impressed numbers are not present or are very difficult to read

In the picture above, the pattern number is '2929' and the shape or impressed number is '217'
The marking of '0/2552' is an order number

Backstamp

The following table provides a rough indication of the date a piece of Carlton Ware was made
by looking at the backstamp

NOTE - the above backstamps were taken from the table mentioned above,
and look very similar to the stamp on the item bought on Ebay

The dates given in the table were 1952 to 1962

Shape - "Rita" (#1582)

The shape or impressed numbers are not always useful for ageing an item

For example, the impressed number of '1582' was first introduced in the late 1930's
It was used for coffee sets for several years

The picture above shows three coffee pots all with the same impressed number '1582'
but with different patterns and different pattern numbers

The impressed number of '1582' was used for coffee sets and as such sets were sold in sets,
all items in the set had the same impressed number

The picture above shows a selection of items from coffee sets, including coffee pots, milk jugs,
sugar bowls, and cups and saucers
All have the same impressed number of '1582'

The following table indicates approximately when a shape was first introduced
These dates will only indicate how old the item might be, but cannot be a guarantee of its age

NOTE - this information was taken from the table mentioned above
Shape or impressed number - 1500 to 1600
Approximate date when first introduced - 1937/1938

Pattern Number - "4225"

This pattern was described as:-
"Rouge Royale with spots"

NOTE - the following photos are of this pattern and look identical to our cup and saucer
