About the Item

Large Ashworth Imari Ironstone Platter, Circa 1860 A magnificent large Ashworth Imari ironstone platter, circa 1860. Measuring 21.5 inches wide by 16.5 inches high, this substantial example highlights the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry for which Ashworth Bros is renowned. Founded in 1848, Ashworth Bros succeeded Morley & Ashworth (1858–60) and acquired the rights to Mason's patent for ironstone china, continuing the tradition of producing high-quality ceramics. This platter features a sparse Imari palette in the central design, with delicate and restrained motifs. The border, however, is the true highlight, adorned with vivid enamels and intricate exotic patterns that captivate the eye. The rich, bold colors and intricate detailing reflect the influence of traditional Japanese Imari design, reinterpreted through the lens of Victorian England's aesthetic sensibilities. The back of the platter bears an impressed mark and painter’s numerals, attesting to its authenticity and origin. This piece is in remarkable condition for its age, making it an excellent addition to any collection of antique ceramics or a stunning addition to any interior. Ready to display and enjoy, this Ashworth Imari platter is not only a functional piece but also a timeless work of art that exemplifies the elegance and heritage of 19th-century ironstone china.
