Large Antique 19th Century Blue & White Willow Pattern Platter

A Good Sized Antique 19th Century Blue & White Willow Pattern Platter or Meat Dish
Transfer Printed Decoration 
Unmarked
Staffordshire, England,
Circa 1860's

Measures:-
45.2 cm wide x 36.5 cm high

Transfer printed decoration. Mid-19th Century, Circa 1860's

Condition:-
Poor. An honest wreck. Held in enough affection to receive a late 19th/Early 20th Century riveted repair. Has evidently been cracked right across the middle and fallen to pieces during its earlier lifetime. Various plaster filled losses to the front. Rim chip at approx 7 o'clock. General craquelure. Probably now only fit as a decorative piece for a dresser or for wall mounting as a plaque. But a highly characterful piece which has clearly been much loved.
