REDUCED Lovely Huge Aesthetic Transferware Platter, Brown with Bird

Pottery : Antique : Transferware

 

The platter is huge measuring a whopping 19" x 15 1/2". The image on the platter is a work of art. It has a large bird of prey diving for something in the water. There is a reflection in the water. The lotus leaves, blossoms, and grasses in the water are intricately executed. The platter is a ironstone pottery. There is an impressed mark. I have tried light, magnification, and rubbing and cannot make out the mark. The length of the mark and the style of the platter indicate it was made by Cauldon Brown-Westhead & Moore Staffordshire Pottery. It is English and characteristic of late 19th century. The platter is in remarkable condition. No chips or cracks.
