A curated selection of antique English ironstone and stone china oval platters, produced in Staffordshire, England between the late Victorian and early 20th century. Each platter is sold individually and has been chosen for its quality, form, and timeless appeal.
This grouping includes examples by respected English potteries W & E Corn, Alfred Meakin, and Mellor, Taylor & Co.. While not a matched set, the platters share a harmonious aesthetic — creamy white glazes, generous oval forms, and classic moulded rims — making them ideal for mixing together on a table or display shelf.
