Description
40's Carlton Ware Rouge Royale Duo Of Shell Form Bowls - Graduated Rouge Red & Black w/ Gold Gilt - Vintage Collectible Lustre Ware
A stunning pair of Carlton Ware bowls produced in the form of a shell (or perhaps a leaf?!) in the 'Rouge Royale' pattern dated to the 40's. The name truly does this duo justice in graduated rich red and black tones with muted gold accents. The rouge red having a black speckled effect only increases the intensity of these shades. The high lustre finish on both pieces allows for a stunning iridescence inside and out.
Both bowls feature a lovely scalloped edge to the rim. The ribbed details of the shell are indented with a spiral design handle in the fashion of a Cornucopia shell. They are finished with a gold rim and gold edged footed base. The larger bowl has a more tapered and slender design whilst the smaller bowl is wider and shallow. They compliment each other perfectly to form part of a centrepiece or for shelf display.
The base of the both pieces show the script style Carlton Ware stamp. The larger bowl features an impressed design number '1973' whilst the smaller bowl features '1976'.
Grade: Great
Condition report:
The duo are in fantastic condition overall with no cracks, chips or nibbles to either piece. There is crazing evident to the underside of both pieces but the main internal and external bodies are sound. Both bowls feature a handful of very light surface scratches to the red lustre leaving a lighter pink mark, evident more so on the inside of the smaller bowl (see image #3, 7 & 9). Both pieces display some wear to the gold gilt along the rim and handles. Very minor imperfections given the age of these beauties.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
