At the time this listing was written, multiple china / dinnerware pieces were available in a variety of patterns, as well as various pieces of glassware, and collectibles, so be sure and check out my many other lots! The 18″ oval serving platter measures approximately 18.625″ in length and 15.625″ in width, and is marked with a Royal Crown Derby backstamp dating the piece to between 1877 and 1890, in addition to a stamp that reads “Richard Briggs, Boston. The oval serving platter has a white base, a cobalt blue, red/orange, and black Imari-style design, brushed 24k gold accents, and a gold rim and verge. The pattern has been discontinued, and the backstamp dates to the piece to a manufacture date between 1877 and 1890. Overall, the 18 oval serving platter is in very good antique condition for its age, though as can be expected with most any antique piece, it does show some light wear and utensil/cleaning scratching to the painted patterns and gold accents and rim. The platter also has two small (0.5 or less) areas of paint restoration along the outer blue rim. Lastly, the piece does have a few firing anomalies (small craters, divots, seams/slices) and wear along the foot from use and storage over the years. The serving platter was acquired as part of a much larger set with little history known; however, no major condition issues (chips, large cracks, crazing) were noticed upon a thorough inspection. Also, please refer to all pictures, as I consider pictures an essential part of my listings. Don’t miss out on this beautiful Antique Royal Crown Derby Kings (Imari Style) Single (1) 18 Oval Serving Platter at such a reasonable price! The 18 oval serving platter is reasonably priced given its rarity. I would also note that there are few others of this size (if any) available elsewhere online! Thanks for stopping by and I hope to hear from you soon!
