Meat Dish or Platter c1835
A stunning platter in a chinoiserie floral pattern, green printed with hand applied colour and blue rim. The body is very white and is translucent, so appears to be Stone China.
Backstamp: green printed, but poorly printed and indecipherable. In small script is the pattern number 5679 and a large impressed F. With that high pattern number this must have come from a major manufacturer and Copeland & Garrett are candidates, using that pattern number in 1836, but there is no real evidence to attribute this platter to them.
There is some discolouration to part of the rim and the outer rim is quite worn. There is a short hairline or craze line in the glaze to the inner rim about 3/4 of an inch long, on the edge of the bowl, but this does not go through to the back. Otherwise the glaze is sound. On the rim at one end are two marks, where the platter rested on the supports in the kiln, one could be taken for a small chip, but it is not. Overall this really is in excellent condition and would be sure to make a stunning display piece.
Dimensions: 53.5 cm x 39 cm / 21 ins x 15.5 ins
