Glo-Tan was Carr China's name for their tan bodied wares. Favored by many, Glo-Tan is a sturdy ware and versitile backdrop for many popular Carr patterns.

According to company order guides, a premium was charged for Glo-Tan over white wares, suggesting they, too, thought this was an exceptional product.
