Lot 95: A Set of Keltcraft Claremont Pattern Ceramic Tableware Designed by Noritake
An Irish-made ceramic tea and coffee service featuring the Claremont pattern. The set comprises a lidded teapot with a domed lid and pointed finial, a twin-handled lidded sugar bowl, a creamer jug with a curved pouring lip, and a large mug with a D-shaped handle. Each piece is constructed from glazed earthenware or stoneware and is decorated with transfer-printed floral sprays featuring central pink roses surrounded by smaller blue blossoms and green foliage. The rims are finished with a thin blue line. The base of the items bears a green printed backstamp within a scrolled border featuring three shamrocks. The mark reads Keltcraft followed by a registered trademark symbol, and designed by Noritake in script. Additional text reads DETERGENT-SAFE and MICROWAVE & OVEN-SAFE, followed by IRELAND, the pattern number 9184, and the pattern name CLAREMONT. A small circular mark containing the number 1 is also visible. An orange adhesive price sticker marked 95 and a small white adhesive sticker marked 4 are present on the teapot lid (photo 1).
