Carlton Ware "Hydrangea" Tray

Pattern Number ... 4448

Made in England

A note from Sharon on Tuesday 4th November 2008

My friend Rhona went to the Britain for a holiday during October 2008
and brought me back a 'goodie' as she calls it
We both like pretty antique china and she knew I already had some Carlton Ware,
so she thought I would like this plate to add to my collection ...... and I do!
She purchased it from a shop in Islington
This is the second time she has bought me back something from the UK
and
click here to see her gift to me three years ago during November 2005
Geoff and I watch "The Antiques Roadshow" and "Bargain Hunt" and some of the markets and fairs are huge
I would love to be over there looking through the thousands of stalls and shops!!
