MASON’S IRONSTONE CANTON RED #447 IMARI- CHINOISERIE (c.1914) LARGE PLATTER- RARE!! EXCELLENT!!

THE  PLATTER IS IN EXCELLENT  CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS MORE THAN 100 YEAR AGE  !!  THERE ARE NO CRACKS OR  CHIPS, BUT THERE IS OVERALL CRAZING  ….   COMMENSURATE WITH ITS AGE. THE CRAZING DOESN’T DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY OF THE PATTERN,  ONLY REALLY NOTICEABLE UP CLOSE ON THE WHITE BACKGROUND AND ON THE UNDER SIDE.

THE COLOURFUL IMARI PATTERN OF CHINOISERIE SCENES AND DESIGNS  INCLUDES GENEROUS GILT ACCENTS AND OUTLINES. THE SCALLOPED EDGE HAS A LIGHT BURNT  ORANGE COLOUR TRIM.

THE PLATTER MEASURES 16 1/4 INCHES FROM END TO END AND 13 INCHES TO THE SIDES.

WHAT A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR  PLATTER COLLECTION OR TO YOUR    CANTON RED  SET.  AND AS ALWAYS, DO KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY, FEWER OF THESE FINE PIECES WILL BE AROUND.
