Description

 MINTON- SCALLOPED MAROON/GILT DESIGN (c. 1924) HUGE PLATTER 18 3/4 “- EXCELLENT!

THE  PLATTER IS IN  EXCELLENT USED CONDITION … COMMENSURATE WITH ITS AGE AND USE.  THERE ARE NO CRACKS, CHIPS OR CRAZING;  BUT THERE ARE  SCRATCHES TO THE PLATTER FACE, AND SEVERAL  SLIGHT SCRATCHES TO THE MAROON EDGE.  OVERALL, THE GILT IS GREAT !! THERE IS SOME WEAR IN A FEW PLACES TO THE GILT  ALONG THE EDGE AND ALONG THE INNER VERGE RING.

THE PLATTER SHOWS WELL ON DISPLAY.  WHILE THE CLOSEUP PICTURES MAY HIGHLIGHT THE SCRATCHES, WITH A CASUAL LOOK, THEY’RE NOT AS NOTICEABLE  AS THE PICTURES WOULD SUGGEST.

IT MEASURES 18 3/4 INCHES FROM END TO END,  14 5/8 INCHES TO THE SIDES, AND STANDS 1 5/8 INCHES IN HEIGHT.

THE  PATTERN IS WONDERFUL WITH A MAROON (X11) ROSE/FUSCHIA REDBERRY COLOUR RIM, FOLLOWED BY THREE GILT BANDS RUNNING IN TANDEM  WITH THE CONTOURS OF THE SCALLOPED EDGE.

WHAT AN EXCELLENT ADDITION TO YOUR ANTIQUE PLATTER COLLECTION OR TO YOUR MINTON  SET,  OR TO A MAROON SET OF YOUR OWN CREATION …..  KEEPING IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES BY FEWER OF THESE LOVELY PIECES WILL BE AVAILABLE !!
