Vintage Ridgway Persia Oval Platter Red Floral Transferware Plate

A charming vintage oval serving platter by Ridgway, featuring the “Persia” pattern with delicate red and sepia floral transferware decoration. The design has a light, airy feel with scattered blossoms and fine trailing stems, giving it a very usable country house or cottage aesthetic. The shape is a classic meat platter with a gently raised rim.

The base mark reads “Persia” with the Ridgway mark and “Stoke on Trent,” dating this piece to the early 20th century, likely around the 1920s–1930s. This is a good, honest example with character, ideal for display, kitchenalia styling, or practical serving.

Condition

Good vintage condition. There is visible age-related wear including glaze crazing, some staining to the reverse, and minor surface marks consistent with use. No major cracks or repairs noted. The wear adds to its authenticity rather than detracting.
