Antique Ridgways “Oriental” Platter – Blue & White Transferware, 15x12 Serving Platter, c. 1900

This beautiful medium-sized platter from Ridgways’ “Oriental” series captures the timeless appeal of English blue-and-white ceramics. The intricate transferware design depicts romantic landscapes and classical architecture framed by floral cartouches.
