The club was initially launched in New Zealand by two avid collectors, Jules & Pita Gregory in 1993. They met with Helen & Keith Martin foremost Carlton Ware dealers who launched Carlton Ware Collectors International at the prestigious Antiques Fair held at the National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham. The following year Pita and Jules handed the club over to Helen & Keith who continued to research, write and publish the newsletters and dispense advice to all members. They have privileged access to the few remaining factory documents and help the two researchers and historians who are writing the definitive book on Carlton Ware.
In 2001 Helen & Keith parted company. Keith has taken over the running of the club and will continue to do so from his new base in the old Carlton Ware factory in Stoke on Trent.
The club holds an Annual Conference in Stoke on Trent the second weekend of October. Many of the members attend together with many of the former Carlton Ware employees. It offers lectures, displays, competitions and THE ANNUAL CARLTON WARE FAIR where up to nineteen dealers offer only Carlton Ware for sale. Strictly monitored the fair has no dealer trading before the doors open to members and the public are admitted one hour later.
The club also holds an annual Overseas conference which alternatives between the Americas and Australasia
