An Edwardian large, 16 inch, oval serving platter by Wedgwood & Co. Second-hand.
What's for sale?
This is an Edwardian, large, 40cm or 16", oval, blue and white serving platter by Wedgwood & Co in their "Burleigh" pattern, which is an interesting, Art Nouveau design in dark blue.
The platter is nicely dished with a scalloped edge and raised pattern. It's made from semi-porcelain, which is a hard, non-translucent earthenware.
Platters are a traditional way to present food and are perfect for Christmas dinner. Old china tableware can continue to be used and enjoyed, but it shouldn't be put in a dishwasher or left immersed in hot water. Wash by hand with warm water and washing-up liquid.
