FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

WE OFFER THIS VINTAGE/ANTIQUE PLATTER. THERE ARE LIGHTLY ETCHED INITIALS ON THE BASE WHICH I BELIEVE ARE 'TY', PERHAPS THE ARTIST'S INITIALS. SEE PICTURE 7. THERE IS AN IMPRESSED MAKER'S MARK WHICH BEGINS WITH MIN, VERY WORN AND HARD TO EVEN FIND. IT IS DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE INITIALS ABOUT 1 1/2" DOWN FROM THE EDGE. IF THIS PLATTER IS A MINTONS, IT IS MID TO LATE 1800'S.

THIS UNUSUALLY SHAPED PIECE IS A LOVELY SEA FOAM GREEN AND CENTERED WITH A 4 3/4" CIRCLE OF COLORFUL HAND PAINTED FLOWERS.

FROM THE VERY LITTLE GOLD THAT IS LEFT ON THE RIM, YOU CAN TELL THAT THIS PLATTER WAS LOVED AND USED QUITE OFTEN. ALSO, THERE WAS GOLD AT ONE TIME, ON THE WHITE RIM OF THE FLOWER CIRCLE. THE GOLD ON THE RAISED WHITE AREAS ON THE LONG ENDS HAS HELD UP FAIRLY WELL.

IN THE LAST PICTURE YOU WILL SEE A SMALL DARKISH AREA ON THE GREEN. THIS IS GLUE FROM AN OLD STICKER AND I COULD NOT GET IT ALL.

OTHERWISE, CONDITION IS FINE---NO CHIPS, CRACKS OR CRAZING.

THE PLATTER IS 12 1/2" WIDE BY 15 3/4" LONG. IT WEIGHS 2 LBS., 4 OUNCES.
