Presenting an exquisite vintage lidded temple jar / urn produced by the quality English makers, Carlton Ware, as a part of their appealing Rouge Royale range dating to circa 1940s. This exceptional example is spectacularly decorated with a hand painted Oriental design rendered in lavish gilt gold and raised enamels atop a lustrous burgundy red Rouge Royale underglaze. The lavishly gilded chinoiserie scene depicting exotic pagoda temples set amongst a stunning Oriental garden appears to opposing sides of the body. Pairs of swallows fly above the harmoniously balanced designs while traditional boats link the idyllic scenes. This superb piece would make an outstanding addition to any vintage Carlton Ware Rouge Royale collection!.
