For your consideration is a stunning, late 19th-century antique Flow Blue oval serving platter in the highly sought-after "Moorish Castle" pattern. This beautiful piece features a romantic Eastern landscape complete with grand architectural spires, minarets, a prominent foreground fountain, and figures in traditional dress.
What sets this particular platter apart from standard examples is its exceptional state of preservation. While many Victorian Flow Blue items suffer from faded details or rubbed trim, this piece boasts incredible condition highlights:
- Stunning High-Luster Glaze: The finish remains remarkably bright, clear, and reflective with a mirror-like shine that beautifully showcases the deep cobalt blue transfer.
- Excellent Edge Gilding: The heavily scalloped, molded rim and decorative handles retain an impressive amount of their original, bright sponge-applied gold gilt accents.
- Clean Condition: The reverse is remarkably clean and free from the dark, unsightly grease or oil staining common to antique earthenware. It features hand-painted red pattern registration numbers (3117) and an artist's mark.
- Authentic Age: Features fine, clear, stable age crazing beneath the glaze, which is entirely normal for authentic transferware of this era and does not detract from its display beauty. No chips or cracks.
Measurements:
- Length: 35 cm (approx. 13.7 inches)
- Perfect size for a striking dresser, cabinet, or wall display.
An exceptional, premium-quality addition to any Flow Blue or blue-and-white transferware collection. Will be packed with utmost care using professional materials for safe transit.
