A pair of novelty pottery teapots manufactured by Carlton Ware, each modelled in the form of a stylised red biplane. The teapots are finished in a vibrant red glaze and feature black transfer-printed decoration to the fuselage reading Red Baron in Gothic-style script, accompanied by three black aircraft kill silhouettes. The biplane wings are adorned with pink and black stylised crosses. The spout is integrated into the propeller hub at the nose, and the handle is formed by the aircraft tail assembly. Each teapot is completed with a removable lid modelled as a pilot wearing a black flying cap, goggles, and a white scarf. The base of each item bears a printed mark in black for Carlton Ware, Made in England, alongside an impressed four-digit number 3543 and a small black three-stroke symbol.
