History: This elegant mid-century footed bowl by Carlton Ware, finished in a glossy custard yellow glaze with uniform fine crazing throughout. The form is shallow with a wide rim and gently sloped sides, supported by three stylized gold-painted curled feet, which adds a sculptural touch to the otherwise minimalist piece. The glaze is characteristic of Carlton Ware’s high-quality lustre ware, which was a signature finish throughout the mid-20th century. The subtle crazing is typical of age and adds vintage charm without compromising structural integrity.
 
Flaws: Fine crazing present
