Platter 1837 - 1857

"Platter" is a ceramic platter made by William Ridgway & Co. in England between 1837 and 1857. The transfer-printed design, characteristic of the Victorian era, depicts a mountainous landscape with a river and trees. The platter is currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. These platters were popular items of everyday tableware in the 19th century, and are now sought after by collectors of decorative arts.
