Antique Willow Pattern Platter Large, Circa 1850

About the Item

This exquisite large ceramic serving platter features the timeless Blue Willow pattern, a beloved design that blends romantic legend with classic artistry. Dating back to the 1850s, this piece is a stunning example of 19th-century craftsmanship and Chinoiserie influence. Beautifully decorated in cobalt blue on a white background, the platter showcases traditional elements of the Willow pattern — including a pagoda, willow tree, bridge with figures, flying birds, and a serene river scene complete with a small boat and intricate fencing. The scene is framed by an ornate geometric and floral border, adding elegance and depth to the overall design. Crafted using the transferware technique, this platter was produced in England in the Staffordshire region, known for its high-quality ceramics during this period. Its durable earthenware or ironstone composition makes it not only a decorative piece but also a functional one.
