<p>[QUOTE="Chinoiserie, post: 11102195, member: 79460"]That's great. Thanks for the info. I got the pair for £10 so was a shot to nothing really. I'm not sure whether to keep them as a pair or to cut the broken one loose. It would just be a shame to separate them as they are a matching pair, but posting two would be a bit of a head ache. It's not just the chip at the top though. The base has suffered catastrophic damage and been glued back together like a jigsaw.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is crazy looking at what prices Carlton ware used to fetch. Even the rouge royale pieces which I have struggled to get £10 for. I just don't buy it any more. Some of the more unusual patterns still do okay as you said. Mikado and such like. Carlton ware in general doesn't seem to age very well though and it is quite often crazed and discoloured.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
