CARLTONWARE (1890-1990): Established in 1890, Carlton Ware was always manufactured in Stoke-on-Trent, right up to its closure in the 1990s. The company was established in 1890 by James Frederick Wiltshaw, William Herbert Robinson and James Alcock Robinson trading under the name of Wiltshaw and Robinson. The trademark "Carlton Ware" was introduced in 1894, and the company's factory was renamed the Carlton Works.
 
CABBAGE WARE:
The Pottery used the term SALAD WARE to describe embossed shapes mostly based on leaves, fruits, vegetables and flowers.
In 1909, a footed bowl, as if formed from cabbage leaves, was registered as a design, Rd.No.545,855. A version without the foot was also introduced. The bowls were available in plain white or with the embossed leaf forms painted realistically in shaded greens, as shown below.
In 1925, the pottery registered designs for a round LOBSTER salad bowl and a LETTUCE & TOMATO tray. Both were to become large and popular ranges.
