Antique Ridgway Blue Willow Platter

Large, late 19th century antique Blue Willow transferware ironstone platter featuring a richly detailed Chinoiserie landscape scene. The center depicts pagodas, bridges, willow trees, birds in flight, and a small boat gliding across the water, all framed by an intricate geometric and floral border. The deep cobalt blue transfer contrasts beautifully against the warm cream-toned earthenware, with age-related crazing and patina that add authentic character and charm. 

Measures 16"x12 1/2". There is a small, stable, crack on one edge.
