VERY LARGE BROWN TRANSFERWARE VICTORIAN FISH PLATTER

IDEAL Pattern

W. H. Grindley and Co. Potteries

Tunstall, Staffordshire England  ~  1883

This Victorian aesthetic movement 22 1/8 " long x 10 1/2 " wide is transfer printed in dark brown.  Largest Victorian ironstone platter we have seen

The pattern features rich and wildly exotic Japanesque geometric designs with a plethora of flowers and foliage all around the rim.  The central image surrounded by cattail flowers is of a pair of Songbirds flying over a stream in a landscape setting.  The designs are the height of the aesthetic movement.  A spectacular pattern.

Great condition, a small chip off the back rim.
